If you used Celestia, when the program asks a distance, this is not the distance from the core but from the surface. It seems you seems to do this error because Uranus, Neptune, and the rocky planets are too big comparated to Jupiter... But it's nice enough

Yeah, Uranus and Neptune are about four times wider than Earth... they look about twice as wide here.
I love the concept! (I did something similar with coloured circles and ellipses in MS Paint

Yeah, the whole scaling thing in celestia is kinda difficult... I did it the best way I could.
Thanks for the fave by the way!

The inner planets are to scale only with one another, not with the gas giants, right?

Actually they are all to scale, even the terrestrial worlds. Of course I was using Celestia and there might have been a few errors in the sizes, but all in all the sizes are PRETY close to the real deal. I think I should had made the Earth a bit smaller... I think it should be the size of Jupiter's big red spot.

I remember reading that the earth can fit into the great red spot 13 times with a bit of room still left over, that's why I asked actually... Hm...
