Toni CraterThis website allows you to fill in values that the browser than uses to create a model solar system. It is a pretty interesting concept, and could be used as a supplement to a lesson that involved calculating all of the necessary values that would allow the students to "build a solar system:

mgrangerInsert a diameter for the sun in cm or inches and the distances and sizes of the other planets are calculated. Great for exploring the scale of the solar system. Also great to figure out the math involved and build a spreadsheet to do the same thing. Check your spread sheet accuracy with the site.

LouAnn GetzMake a scale model of the Solar System and learn the REAL definition of "space."
* Fill in the diameter of the Sun you want your model to be scaled by. You can fill in either the red bordered inches box or the green bordered millimeters box. Important: Only fill in one box. If both are filled in you will get a dialog box asking you to clear one of the boxes. Use the Clear button to clear the entire form. " -
