If  the Earth was the size of a tennis ball, then the Sun would be an orb 22' in diameter about 1/2 mile away.

The Moon would be bigger than a red globe grape almost six feet away.

Jupiter would be roughly the size of a beach ball, about 2 miles away.

The relative sizes of objects in the solar system and the vast distances between them is something I can't comprehend without making them relative to something I can.
