A model of the 8 planets of the solar system to true scale to one another.
Much as in reality, the majority of the set's volume & mass is dominated by the gas giants with the terrestrial planets making only a partial handful of objects.
In addition the gas giants feature their equatorial deformation to scale, reproduced with their correct oblate spheroid shape.
