If you make a model of the distance of the planets on a large field you get an impression of how far away the planets and closest stars really are. In this model, 1 foot represented 15,500,000 miles.
The Earth is only 6 feet away but Pluto ends up being 236 feet away.
The closest star Alpha Centauri ends up being 305 miles away, Imagine that, 305 miles away on this scale when Neptune is less than 100 yards away from the sun. It is hard to imagine these kinds of distances.
