solar system metaphor

Here is your fun trivia for today, thanks to the Ask Marilyn column in the Parade magazine:

If the sun were a pumpkin about a foot wide, Mercury would be a tomato seed 50 feet away; Venus, a pea 75 feet away; Earth, a pea 100 feet away; Mars, a little raisin 175 feet away; Jupiter, an apple 550 feet away; Saturn, a peach 1,025 feet away; Uranus, a plum 2,050 feet away; and Neptune, a plum 3,225 feet away. Pluto stays in the fridge.
