Space Project

My life being screwed up pretty much, too much work and too much stress to come. Not any good for an artistic exhibition. Anyway I need to carry out my plans so here's few numbers I'll need. I'd like to present Mercury, Venus and Earth (being the dominant) in a way that it would represent the real Solar System model. I took the average distance from Sun to the planets (I know this does not make sense much but for simplicity sake).

Distance from Sun to ~KmAUplanet center at [cm]
Mercury 5.790 * 10^7 0.387098 236
Venus 1.082 * 10^8 0.72333199 342
Earth 1.4959 * 10^8 1 496
(Earth to) Moon 383990 0.00255 14 from Earth

planetradius [km]earthmy model [cm]
Mercury 2439.7 0.3829 32.16
Venus 6051.8 0.949 79.71
Earth 6378.1 1 84
Moon 1.738 0.273 22.7

With this I can now render my planets, print them on a big format and attach them to the fabric that will represent the space. I'll link the planets showing the real distances.
