3 FAQs about Zagreb civilian solar system

Why did Zagreb get a replica of the Solar System?

The planets are made of stainless steel and are of different sizes on the same scale as The Grounded Sun. As a result, Zagreb got its own replica of the solar system shown on a greatly reduced scale. The distance between the Sun and the planet installations is correlated to the distance between planets and the Sun in our solar system.

Is Zagreb a replica of the Sun?

Most people who have visited Zagreb have likely seen The Grounded Sun, whether they knew it was a replica of the sun or not since it is large and centrally located. Fewer are familiar with the locations of the other planets. To help you find all the planets, we’ve put together a map with the addresses of all installations.

How many models are there in Zagreb?

Following a two-week exhibition at the Josip Račić Exhibition Hall, Preis strategically placed nine models representing the planets of our Solar System across Zagreb. Each model, meticulously positioned at various locations, adheres to the same scale as the Prizemljeno Sunce, forming a scaled-down celestial neighbourhood.
