Kepler's Solar System Model, Ground Plan, Enlarged 6.67X

Cross section of Kepler's 3D model, inner planets. Scale is chosen
so that the red ring (Mars) fills the frame.

Here, the black ring of Mercury is encircled by rings: green (Venus), blue (Earth), and red (Mars). Again, the thickness of the shells indicate the space between the minimum and maximum distances of the planet from the center.

Scale: one inch = 100 Mkm
(assumes the white square measures 4 x 4 inches)
