There are 8 official planets but orreries also often include Pluto as it was classified as the 9th planet until its downgrading in 2006.
However if I intend to make the solar system model in proportion to these values I will have to consider carefully how I intend to do this. For example the distance to the Sun is valued in millions of km. I will not be able to simulate this at the same proportion as the diameter which would be in km as I would have to model the planets too far away from each other. I will therefore have to make the distance and diameter separate so that all the sizes are proportional to each other, and all the distances are proportional but the size and distance are not measured in the same proportions.
Now that I have these values I can begin to create the model that I wish to use for my augmented reality solar system.
