Sizemology

Explore the relative sizes of everything from baseballs to planets.

Try your hand at this scale game: resize the objects until they’re the correct relative sizes. We’ll start you with easy, everyday objects, then take you up to moons, planets, and the solar system! Let’s see how you measure up!
