Description Summary

A typical Culture orbital, if it were in Earth's orbit.  The radiuses of the orbits, orbital, Sun, and Venus (good luck finding it!) are all to scale. This was modified from commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fil… which I confirmed to be accurate to calgary.rasc.ca/orbits.htm I modified the radiuses of the solar system bodies and Earth→orbital by hand, proportional to their actual radiuses.

(While the orbital's diameter is to-scale, the line width is not.  It would probably be invisible.)
