Draft:(Saskatoon) Meewasin Solar System model

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Meewasin Solar System model is a model of The Solar System that was constructed along Pinehouse Drive, and streches north-ward through out all of the north Meewasin Trail. The model was built using a rather large scale (1:1,275,600,000) and was built entirely on November 17th 2023. The model was created by Roman.R, utilizing the model planets, by affixing them to lampposts all along Meewasin Trail.

The model gained fame on November 14th, when Global News had requested to do an interview with Roman.R on the model, and was finally broadcasted on November 15th 2023, until later that week CTV had done another interview with Roman, this time, broadcasting on November 18th 2023.

Model planet/dwarf planet scales

  • Mercury (scaled diameter: 0.3 cm)
    Venus (scaled diameter: 0.93 cm)
  • Earth (scaled diameter: 1 cm)
  • Mars (scaled diameter: 0.5 cm)
  • Jupiter (scaled diameter: 10 cm)
  • Saturn (scaled diameter: 9 cm)
  • Uranus (scaled diameter: 3.9 cm)
  • Neptune (scaled diameter: 3.8 cm)
  • Pluto (scaled diameter: 0.09 cm)
  • Eris (scaled diameter: 0.08 cm)

The model (as of April 12th 2024) is decaying away, but Roman plans to add more weather-proof models in May.
