15. How big is our solar system? (A K2S Question)

From The Space Library

Our solar system is much bigger than you probably think. Pluto, the farthest planet, is about 3.5 billion miles away. If the Sun were the size of a bowling ball, Pluto would be smaller than a pin head and ten football fields away. But the solar system is bigger than that, still.
