did you know?
Wylie Overstrict and his friends
built the first scale model
of the solar system, with Earth
being the size of a marble.
It spans if miles, includes planetary
orbits, and the proportions
are so accurate that if you
stand near Earth' s orbit at
sunrise, the model sun and the

Southpark is pretty stale tbh. They just spoof things now, not that its any better than edge-park from the early seasons. The Simpsons is a popular show, even if you don't watch it. You are the minority here.

Telling somebody the ending of a story still takes away part of the fun.

I think it'd be scarier to have it for so long and lose it suddenly. I think the kid makes a comment about that in the episode, no?

distance between neptune and the sun =4,800,000,000 km
radius of the earth = 6,371 km
radius of average marble 0.000025 km
0.000025/6371 = 0.00000000392403076
0.00000000392403076*4,800,000,000= 18.835347648km or 11 miles
this not to mention that sunrise is not effected by orbit shows that these facts are still ********

The scale model was made in the middle of a desert and it spans nearly 40 miles.

it should have a radius of 11 miles or 380 miles squared, if they included Pluto it should have a radius of 18 or 1020.12 miles squared

The part about sunrise is probably because someone said something along the lines of "During sunrise you can see the model sun and the actual sun right next to each other and see that they are the same size", and to summarize it the meaning was accidentally changed.

Size issues are easily fixed by the marble representing earth simply being smaller than the one you used for your calculations.

This is one of the most believable ones.I don't have any idea if it actually is true, but what you said does not does not disprove anything.

Everyone else is talking about the other posts, but all I cared about was the solar system model. I saw their video. I wasn't impressed.
