The Lakeview Museum Community Solar System is centered in Peoria, Illinois, USA. The scale is 42 feet = 1 million miles. It's listed in the Guinness Book as the world's largest model solar system. According to the article linked above, Saturn is located at a distance of 8 miles from the 36-foot-diameter sun at the center; Uranus at 15 miles; Neptune at 23 miles; and Pluto (now a non-planet) at 40 miles and only one inch in diameter! The earth is 4 inches in diameter and located 3/4 mile from the sun.
