It is a bronze sphere around 2 m (6 ft 7 in) in diameter.In 2004, artist Davor Preis [hr] had a two-week exhibition in the Josip Račić Exhibition Hall in Margaretska Street in Zagreb, and afterwards, he placed 9 models of the planets of the Solar System around Zagreb, to complete a model of the entire solar system. The models' sizes as well as their distances from the Prizemljeno Sunce are all in the same scale as the Prizemljeno Sunce itself. Preis did this installation with very little or no publicity, so his installation is not well known among citizens of Zagreb. On a few occasions, individuals or small groups of people, particularly physics students, "discovered" that there was a model of the Solar System in Zagreb.One of the earliest efforts to find all of the planets was started in November 2004 on the web forum of the student section of the Croatian Physics Society. The locations of the planets are as follows:Mercury - 3 Margaretska StreetVenus - 3 Ban Josip Jelačić SquareEarth - 9 Varšavska StreetMars - 21 Tkalčićeva StreetJupiter - 71 Voćarska StreetSaturn - 1 Račićeva StreetUranus - 9 Siget (not at the residential building but at the garage across the street)Neptune - Kozari 17Pluto - Bologna Alley (underpass) - included in the installation before being demoted to dwarf planet (someone has since ripped Pluto off, however the plaque remains) The system is at scale 1:680 000 000. Earth's model is about 1.9 cm (0.75.
