Every now and then I get curious on relative size and how to conceptualize the size of the universe. How do you even grasp the size of a light year let along 1,000,000,000 light years? I thought I would break it down into reasonable sizes and work my way up.

I borrowed some pictures from Apple Maps and NASA. I also tried to keep the scale for objects correct to help understand not only the distance but also the size of objects.


When it comes to the Earth/Moon orbit, there is misconception that the Moon is very close to the Earth like below:

The reality is more like below.

In conclusion, the universe is much larger than we can imagine. So easy does it.

So mapping the length of observable universe in terms of apple park diameter would be fun ??

Robert, Nice visuals! This was a lot of effort and you succintly summed up that both the Earth and moon are in fact flat via diagram 3 and 4.... or were you not saying that?
