What it would look like if planets were at the same distance away as the moon

Jupiter
The diameter of Jupiter is 40 times that of the moon and it would dominate the night sky if it were in the same position


Uranus
Uranus would look a similar size to Neptune, according to Mr Miller, who has created the images to highlight the size of the planets

Mercury
Smallest planet Mercury would look just slightly larger than the moon from the same distance

Mars
Mars would appear around twice the size of the moon from 233,812 miles away
