At 950 km across, the Sweden Solar System is the world's largest permanent scale model of the Solar System (scale 1:20 million).
Thank you.

I wonder where a model of Alpha Centauri, the nearest star to Earth apart from the Sun, would be located.

Coiuld we work out one for the United Kingdom, using the Millennium Dome to represent the Sun?

Thank you.
Perhaps you didn’t notice that the link in my original post takes you to that page.

Well, it’s 4.34 light years away from Earth, or 4.106x10^13 km away, so at a scale of 1:20 million it would be 2.053 million kilometres away.

The model of the star several times further away than the real moon!
