Sizes and distances are to scale based on the assumption that your browser window is one light-second wide. The exoplanets are placed at the semi-major axis of orbit from the host star.
The distance to what would be Mercury’s orbit has been marked to illustrate the stark contrast between the TRAPPIST-1 planetary system and our own. The full Solar system can be explored here .
The middle button in the upper-right corner opens the options menu.
