The best way to experience the size of the Solar System is to go on a "Solar System Walk". There are many around the World. Do a Google search for "Solar System Walk".
In the UK the best one is in Otford, Kent, which is the Worlds largest scale model of the Solar System, where the planets are scaled to their exact position at the turn of the century [See related link]
Another one is in Somerset, called "Space Walk" [See related link]. It doesn't show the planets in any particular position but does give their distances as you walk along the canal - and Pluto is a long long way!!
Or you could always created your own using common household objects. [See related link for all the details]

Copernicus was the first to show, in a systematic and mathematical way, that a helio-centric solar system made astronomical observations easier to understand. Ptolemy's system worked (well, sort of) in explaining what we see, but it was incredibly complicated.
There is only one star in our Solar System See related question.
they are very far away

A scale model of the solar system is called an "orrery". There are a number of orreries of various sizes in cities around the world.In the UK - There is one at Shoreham, another at York and a canal walk in Somerset. Possibly the worlds largest scale model covers the whole of the UK and Northern Island. [See related link]

I'd like to see these plans built into a scale model.
There are no constellations in our solar system. All constellations you see are outside our solar system.
Yes. In fact your eyes can see all the stars in our Solar System. The only star in our solar system is the Sun.
Yes, the solar system is the only one in our solar system. there are other solar systems many trillions of miles away. You can see their suns, these are the stars.
there is only 1 star in our solar system, which is our sun. the stars that we can see at night are outside of our solar system
