If you think that's cool, check out this scale model of a Hydrogen atom.
If you think that's mind-boggling, check out the distances between all those planets and stars.

Interesting size comparisons, but after reading asome of the conspiracy and UFO theories at the website, it's left me wondering why Earth isn't larger than the sun; we seem to be piling the bulls**t pretty deep.

Consumer warning label: This model of the solar system is good to eat.
However, under no circumstances should you put real planets in your mouth
for any reason.

I don't know why you'd promote something found on the Rense website, full of anti-Semetic bigotry, which isn't worth acknowledgement only because the rest of the site shows how much of a nut he is.
I've never visited the rense.com wewbsite except to see this one posting, which I think is fascinating. I don't necessarily endorse or support even the things I do post on T.O.P., much less other site content I've never seen. Sorry if I led people to any unpleasant experiences.
