I mentioned once that space is big.
With the sun scaled to a grain of sand, the milky way model fits just inside Pluto's orbit. I mentioned it before.
Another scale model!
Make the sun the size of a ball from a Bic pen (1.2mm). 8.62x10^-13!
Alpha Centuari is 22.11 miles away at this scale.
Pluto is 16' 7-5/16" (5.06m) from the sun. Earth is a mere 5" (and it's an infinitesimal 0.01mm in diameter).
