If you think everything you know about our solar system is right, you must think again. A new model has suggested we have misleading information about the solar system. According to a video made by two filmmakers, we are unaware about the true size of the solar system. The actual size of our stellar neighborhood is much more massive than we previously thought.

The two filmmakers, Wylie Overstreet and Alex Gorosh, visited Black Rock Desert in Nevada to make a model of the solar system to demonstrate its actual size and distance between planets. The filmmakers made a video where they showed that images present on Google are actually misleading pictures of planets and solar system.

To tell people the difference between two planets, the filmmakers used a tiny marble to show earth. They went about seven miles through the desert to show another planet. Our solar system has eight planets, asteroid belts, a number of dwarf planets and many other objects that orbit the sun. About 99.9% mass of solar system is contained in the sun, while the remaining mass is due to planets, asteroids and other objects.

According to a number of scientific theories, the solar system was formed more than 4.5 billion years ago. It was result of collapse of a giant cloud of molecules. Ring of dust surrounding the sun led to formation of planets, asteroids and other bodies.

Mercury is the first planet from the sun. Earth is the third planet from the sun which orbits the sun at a distance of roughly 150 million km.
