All planets in the solar system could fit side-by-side between the earth and the moon.

Astronomical distances be wild, yo.

Wow! I guess you get a little biased when looking at those artistic representations of the solar system from a young age that aren't to scale.
The other factoid though, VY Canis Majoris fits inside the orbit of Saturn... that's huge in the other direction. Especially compared with what you said.
