From Sun to Saturn, 14 billion kilometers, 40 thousand years is needed in walking. If you walk about 100 meters here in NAOJ, you could reach to the Saturn from Sun. The distance is one 14 bilionth (14,000,000,000) of the real distance.
If one step is 0.5 meter, just 200 steps and you could reach to the Saturn. In that case, one step is equivalent as 7 million kilometers.
On the way to Saturn, models of other planets are also displayed.
Feel free to visit here.
