  1. The Cosmic Distance Scale - One way to help visualize the relative distances in the solar system is to imagine a model in which the solar system is reduced in size
  2. Cosmic Distances - The space beyond Earth is so incredibly vast that units of measure which are convenient for us in our everyday lives can become gigantic
  3. Distance in Space - a slide show presentation
  4. Estimating distances to objects in space - How far away are the objects?
  5. Examine the vast distances between planets in the solar system - Click the image to see the animation. Use the movie controls to examine the planets. This site is interactive and allows students to play a game or input or collect data
  6. Explanation of the Cosmic Distance Ladder - Astronomers use various methods to measure relative distances in the Universe
  7. How Can the Little Moon Hide the Giant Sun - classroom activity from NASA involving explanation of eclipses using relative distances
  8. Overview of Objects in the Universe - the universe is large, mostly empty, dynamic, and old
  9. Planetary Size and Distance Comparison - What is the diameter and relative distance from the sun of each planet
    in our solar system?
  10. Size Comparison - a sequence of models compares larger and larger objects - great pictures
  11. Size Scales in Astronomy - some demonstrations for use in the classroom that should help put the sizes and distances of astronomical objects into a more understandable perspective
  12. Stellar Parallax - Parallax is the apparent displacement of an object because of a change in the observer's point of view
  13. What is Parallax? - Parallax is an irreplaceable tool for calculating distances of far away stars
