Description
English: Comparison of sizes of lengths with order of magnitude 1e13: view from directly above the ecliptic: Sedna's orbit below, light-day shell and yellow Vernal point radius arrow, blue Termination Shock, and other lengths. Sedna's orbit (below); comet Hale Bopp's orbit (lower, very faint orange); one light-day (yellow spherical shell with yellow Vernal point arrow as radius); the Termination Shock (blue shell); positions of Voyager 1 (red arrow) and Pioneer 10 (green arrow); Kuiper Belt (small faint gray torus); orbits of Pluto (small ellipse inside Kuiper Belt) and Neptune (smallest ellipse); all to scale. No transparency version.

84user's contribution (inside POV-Ray files: adjusting coordinates, changing light source and other parameters) is public domain and source files used are described at User:84user/Size comparison.

Physical information is based on the Wikipedia articles and elsewhere (see POVRay source files) about the respective bodies.
