the actual sizes seem to be quite accurate

the distances between them though are completely wrong, it would be impossible to fit all planets to scale on a monitor and still be able to see them.

here's a fun fact, if the sun was the size of a stability ball / yoga ball, the earth would be 70 meters away and about the size of a pea

I'm not feeling this depth kind of thing. it makes it look small. in reality the close edge of the galaxy would be thousands of light years away with the far end being 100,000 more. the difference of how light travels from such far objects means that there would be practically zero difference of focus from the close to far side.
