Isn't Jupiter hundreds of times the size of earth?

PoodlestarGenericaIt's disappointing but in this case I believe scale is in reference to the detail printed on. Like how the eye of Jupiter is scaled in reference to it's original size on Jupiter, and the same goes for Mt Olympus on Mars

sdhaliwalWhat I meant was, people keep complaining that they aren't to scale, but that isn't feasible. Obviously a scale solar system model would be amazing , but wouldn't work for a product like this. Assuming the included earth is an inch in diameter, which is still small, jupiter would still be (I looked up the exact scale) 1300 times the size. And mercury (not to mention pluto) would be minuscule.
