Space Shuttle Scale:

When comparing your space shuttle with planets and moons (excluding Phobos and Deimos since they are too small) its length equals 200 km (124 miles). When comparing it with the distance between planets (not Sun or moons) its length equals 200 000 km (124 274 miles). It really helps understand how massive space objects are and how vast space is.
