It is pretty mind boggling. And my mother-in-law thinks that it's a long
way to drive to the next town for shopping!

As useful as the pictures are to visualize the sizes, the picture it
links to on Wikipedia is even cooler to look at.
Might be worth printing poster size.

  This web page visualy comparing the size of known planets is simply
  mind boggling, if it's correct of course! A quick google of a few
  of the planets seem to indicate they are shown to reasonable scale,
  but I've not tried googling the stars yet.
