Why Solar System Models Are So Inaccurate

  • They want to be able to fit it on the page
  • If it is 3D they dont want it to be too long
  • If They Made The Planets Actual Size The Planets
  • Would Be About The Size Of A Pixel

Solar Systems arent the only ones

  • This water cycle going up to the clouds
  • That is false, some goes up but mostly it spreads out
