Yeah, no doubt.
I was blown away after seeing a scale model solar system on the U Colorado Boulder campus.
The tiny size of the planets relative to the distance of the orbits is mind-blowing, especially the outer planets. It's almost amazing we're able to see the planets so well with the naked eye from Earth through just their own passive reflection of sunlight.
