How Big Are The Planets Compared To Our Moon?

Seeing we are all excited about the Curiosity rover landing on Mars, and while we wait for more photos from its space cameras, here’s how Mars would look like from Earth IF it took our moon’s place, i.e. revolving around Earth at the same distance as the moon. Aww, why don’t we go ahead and see how the other planets would also appear? This is exactly what artist Brad Goodspeed did in this video as he imagines what the planets would look like if they were to orbit Earth, in place of the moon. Beautiful!

When Jupiter rolls by, it is Earth that suddenly seems to become its moon!
