No Pluto. Boo!

Pluto’s orbit is elliptical not nearly circular like the regular planets. It’s orbit would vary from 6.8 miles to 11.5.
If you took the Oort cloud as the limits of the solar system (at 2 light years from the sun and halfway to Proxima Centauri) you would need the entire circumference of the earth to show the scale.
