"So the basic idea is, each planet you see is the size it would appear in the sky if it shared an orbit with the moon, 380,000 km from earth. I created this video in After Effects, and because of certain technical considerations had to keep the field of view at 62 degrees. That means the foreground element is not precisely to scale. I realized this after the fact and may update the video at some point in the future. All planets are to correct scale with one another in any case."
