2. And this is where you live in your neighborhood, the solar system.
这是你所在的社区，太阳系。

3. Here’s the distance, to scale, between the Earth and the moon. Doesn’t look too far, does it?
这是地月间的距离，看上去并不远，是吗？

4. THINK AGAIN. Inside that distance you can fit every planet in our solar system, nice and neatly.
不过看清楚了，在这个距离内可以整整齐齐排下太阳系所有的行星。

5.But let's talk about planets. That little green smudge is North America on Jupiter.
我们再来看看行星们，北美洲在木星上只是个小绿点。

7. And just for good measure, here’s what Saturn’s rings would look like if they were around Earth:
如果地球有木星那样的星环...

8.This right here is a comet. We just landed a probe on one of those bad boys. Here's what one looks like compared with Los Angeles:
一颗彗星在洛杉矶的景象。

9. But that’s nothing compared to our sun. Just remember:
但比起我们的太阳，它什么也不是。

10. Here’s you from the moon:
从月亮看我们是这样的

11. Here’s you from Mars:
在火星看我们是这样的

12. Here’s you from just behind Saturn’s rings:

13. And here’s you from just beyond Neptune, 4 billion miles away.
这是从40亿英里外的海王星看到的我们

14. Let’s step back a bit. Here’s the size of Earth compared with the size of our sun. Terrifying, right?
站远点看，地球和太阳大小的比较，有点吓人不是吗？

15. And here’s that same sun from the surface of Mars:
还是那个太阳，从火星上看是这样的

16. But that’s nothing. Again, as Carl once mused, there are more stars in space than there are grains of sand on every beach on Earth:
但同样的，宇宙中的太阳比地球上的沙子还多。
