![]() (Rescale factor of 0.00000004)Ĭonclusion: Spore planets are really small. Spore orbits are around 25 million times smaller than real planet's orbits. Spore planets are around 7000 times smaller than real planets (Rescale factor of 0.00014) Spore's small Moon-sized objects are about 415 meters (1361.55 feet) in Diameter. Spore's gas giants are about 1.9 km (1.2 miles) across. Spore's Earth orbits about 6 kilometers (3.72 miles) from the Sun. Spore homeworld planets are about 830 meters (2723 feet) in Diameter. Moons are about 1/2 the diameter of a SporeEarthDiameter. Gas Giants are about 2.25 SporeEarthDiameter across, or 1.9 km across.Ĭomets appear to be the size of a building. Yellow Stars are 4 SporeEarthDiameter across, or 3.3 km across. That would be like if the Earth orbited the Sun at a distance of 42,000 kilometers.Īs for the size of the Gas Giants and Yellow Stars: That's 3500 times smaller than the planet size rescale. The rescale factor for Spore Orbits appears to be 1/25,000,000, or 0.00000004. So one Spore AU is about 5.81 kilometers. According to this image, SporeEarth's semiMajorAxis is seven SporeEarthDiameters from the Sun's center. We now know the size of a Spore planet, so let's figure out the size of gas giants, stars, and planetary orbits. That's only two orders of magnitude of difference, like the difference between styrofoam and osmium. White dwarf stellar remnants in the real world have a density of 1,000,000,000. Density for Spore planets is 39,357,158.6 kg / m 3. Surface Gravity = Mass / Radius 3 = Density(Radius)ĭensity = 7142.857 Earth Densities. All of these units are in Earth units equal to 1. Let's have some fun and calculate the density of a world needed in order to have 1 gee of surface gravity and a radius of a Spore planet. If you had a hollowed out Earth, you would be able to fit over 364.4 Billion Spore Earths inside. For every 1 Real Earth Diameter, you could fit nearly 7143 Spore Earths in the same length. I was wrong by almost two orders of magnitude.Īnd all of this gives a rescale factor in actuality of 0.00014. I initially hypothesized that the rescale factor from real scale to spore scale was about 4/500, or 0.008. That's not even a single kilometer, and just over half a mile.Īssuming my homeworld planet had a size of about 650 Somethings, a single Something is 1.27 meters (4.17 feet), For the purposes of being nice and round, and giving Spore a fighting chance at being large, let's make it 1.5 meters per something. Using this, I found that a planet is about 8 cities in diameter. So I loaded up my space stage game, and opened the planet Sporepedia, and found my homeworld, covered in cities. So then I had to find out how big a City was compared to a planet. ( Pictures) A large city is 103.6 meters across. One of those circles is 7 Al Packas across. I put an Alpaca in a Civ Stage game, and measured his size compared to one of the small circle textures in the city's ground. I chose a height of 1.85 meters from ear tips to ground. ![]() The head of an Al Packa and an Alpaca is somewhat different, so we will have to use a proportion to find the height of the Al Packa based only on the body of the Alpaca. This may be wrong, but it's the only creature we have in Spore canon that could possibly correspond directly to an Earth creature.Īn Alpaca is 1 meter from the top of the shoulder to the ground. Because of the apparently similar build, appearance, and name, I am going to make the assumption that an Al Packa is the same size as a real world Alpaca. What about Creatures? Well at first this appears to be a dead end, but there is one thing which saves us. They're too different from any real world trees that we have to throw them out. But just how small is it? Because of the fact that the trees appear to be far, far bigger than cities, we can't use them for scale. The buildings and trees and things are visible from orbit. Obviously the planets in spore are small. The Parsec is on a totally different scale from planets, and given the following information I heavily doubt it has any bearing on the real world parsec distance.ĭISCLAIMER: All of these are based upon close estimations and may be off by quite a bit. The creators of Spore have seemingly done all they can to hide any reference to real world size units, aside from the Parsec. "The planets are an average of 500 somethings, with a range in size between 400 and 700 somethings." This is from the Siggraph 2007 Planet Lecture.
