This Solar System model is located in the county of Estremoz, and it was designed with a proper scale:
«The scale used was chosen considering that the representation of the Sun would have to be installed in the center of Estremoz, while Pluto should be adjacent to the castle Évoramonte.
Since the distance between the two locations is approximately 14.250 km whereas the actual distance between the sun and Pluto is about 5.9 billion km is obtained a range of 1/414 000 000, which means that 1 km measured in the county amounts to about 414 million km in the Universe.»
The coordinates of the waymark are the center of the solar system model (the sun), and are located in front of the Science Center of Estremoz.
