All the other planets of the solar system will fit between the Earth and the Moon. It seems incredible, but it is true. We are used to the fact that the moon is very close. Even on the scale of the solar system. But all our planets can easily be squeezed into this "gap". The average distance from the Earth to the Moon is about 384,000 kilometers. And if you arrange Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, their total diameter will be less than this distance. Yes, even giant Jupiter and fairly large Saturn (albeit without rings) easily fit into this space. And when the moon is at the farthest point of its orbit (apogee), the reserve becomes even larger.
