H.G.Wells Quotes
It Is Well To Understand How Empty Space Is. If, As We Have Said, The Sun Were A Ball Nine Feet Across, Our Earth Would, In Proportion, Be The Size Of A One-inch Ball, And At A Distance Of 323 Yards From The Sun. The Moon Would Be A Speck The Size Of A Small Pea, Thirty Inches From The Earth. Nearer To The Sun Than The Earth Would Be Two Other Very Similar Specks, The Planets Mercury And Venus, At A Distance Of 125 And 250 Yards Respectively. Beyond The Earth Would Come The Planets Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, And Neptune, At Distances Of 500, 1806, 3000, 6000, And 9500 Yards Respectively.
