Talk:Sweden Solar System

Updates?
No mention of Callisto (which is inside the airport in a side corridor leading to the airport hotel.) According to a nearby sign, Ganymede, Europa, and Io are also represented (I've only personally observed the Callisto sculpture and the info sign, though.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.110.60.217 (talk) 23:21, 15 December 2019 (UTC)

No Saturn in Uppsala
I just visited Celsiustorget in Uppsala (where I live) and could only find a model of Titan. There is also a plate saying that the moons of Saturn are displayed in various schools in Uppsala. I am unaware of any model of Saturn itself, and I think I would know about a sphere of diamater 6 metres. 130.238.240.241 (talk) 12:05, 10 April 2014 (UTC)

Inconsistent with the article Solar_system_model where it is described as "largest" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.31.127.50 (talk) 14:00, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

Why distances in metres?
Seems odd that the distances from the Erikkson Globe for the first three inner planets are given in metres in the main text. Would make more sense to have them in kilometres as per the article table.

Proxima Centauri?
The scale of the solar system model is given as 20,000,000:1, and this checks out against the distances to solar system objects. At this same scale 4.24 light years maps to 2.00 million km. That's more than 5× the distance to the Moon. Therefore, the Proxima Centauri model in Australia can't be represented "accurately, to scale." I also don't find anything about Proxima in the official web site for Sweden Solar System. Is this really part of the model at all? --Amble (talk) 16:11, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
 * I just removed it. It was added by a user with no other contributions so far. I assume it was a joke. Icek (talk) 16:43, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Agreed, thanks. Although I suspect it's a slight confusion rather than a joke: there is a solar system model in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia at 1 billion : 1 scale that will include Alpha Centauri by wrapping around the world once.  --Amble (talk) 17:33, 20 February 2014 (UTC)


 * BTW, the given diameters of Sedna and Ixion are too large by a factor of two each. Is this another mistake, or were vastly outdated estimate used? --Roentgenium111 (talk) 18:29, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
 * According to the table, the Ixion model was placed in 2002, and the Sedna model in 2005. The Sweden Solar System website confirms 6.5 cm for the Ixion model.  Therefore, I think these are just vastly outdated estimates.  (The albedos turned out to be larger than assumed, if I understand correctly.) --Amble (talk) 18:44, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

how far is Uranus from the globe?
I noticed that there is no info included on this which is inconsistent from the other solar system bodies. Norisheep (talk) 00:16, 22 April 2021 (UTC)
