Small screen sample of the animation "PlanetsSizes" at djlist.0catch.com. Enhanced, animated video treatment of the NASA (Lunar and Planetary Institute) Chart of Planet Sizes. Sequential development of solar system images to show relative scale of planets sizes for comparison - pluto (dwarf planet), neptune, uranus, saturn, jupiter (gas giants), mars, earth (rocky, terrestrial planets), earth's moon, and the sun - shown in order of distance from sun but distances (except for earth-moon distance) not to scale. Approx. diameters of planets, moon and sun listed at end. Photo Credits.
