Understanding the mass of planets can be a challenging concept due to the vastness of space. While we know that the sun is significantly larger than the planets in its orbit, visualizing the exact mass of these celestial bodies can be perplexing.

To simplify this complex idea, we have created a captivating video titled Planets as Animals. This video showcases the relative sizes of planets to familiar animals, making it easier to grasp their mass differences.

For instance, if Venus is compared to a 6-year-old human child in terms of mass, then Earth can be likened to a Labrador dog, while Uranus becomes equivalent to a grizzly bear. Through cutting-edge 360-degree 3D animation, we aim to provide a clear visualization of the scale of planets in our solar system by using animals as reference points.
