Solar System Scale Model [phrenopolis.com] shows a scale model of the solar system. The planets are displayed in a scale corresponding to the first image, which is that of the sun. Unlike most solar system visualizations or models, the planets are shown at their true-to-scale average distances from the Sun. That makes the resulting web page rather large: on an ordinary 72 dpi monitor it is just over half a mile wide (~800m), making it possibly one of the "largest" pages on the web. As a consequence, visitors must scroll a considerable amount in order to find the planets, which is part of the fun.
Strongly reminds me of World Population One and Hydrogen Atom Pixel Model. Via @ datamarket.

well... i don't think this experiment really have any informational value.
the interface makes it too boring and frustrating to use, after a few seconds of scrolling (and maybe missing a planet because it zipped by too fast) you simply grow bored and close the page. you don't even manage to get an idea of how big the page is because the scrolling rate isn't constant...

To me, you hit it perfectly why the graphic DOES have informational value. The fact is, and I assume the model's designer wishes to convey, that our solar system is so vast and so empty, and traditional models do not represent that accurately. I agree, the model is pretty boring. I spent about 15 minutes on there, and only found two planets (excluding Pluto which is at the very end and thus easy). I didn't realize that Saturn (a planet I had always thought of as distant) was relativly close to Earth when compared to Pluto. One thing I belive would have helped would have been a mileage scale.
