If the sun was a golf ball on the northshore, the next closest star is about Nashville. Mind blown.

When galaxies with billions of stars collide very few stars and planets, if any, will actually smash into each other.

Scale: Sun diameter = 1 inch.
Scaled planet diameters:
Earth: 0.0092 inches
Neptune: 0.036 inches
Distance to the Sun:
Earth: 107.42 in (8.95 ft)
Neptune: 3234.29 in (269.52 ft)
Makes you wonder if the Sun’s gravity is strong enough to control the planet Neptune how aren’t we ripped off the surface of Earth.

On a human being on Earth, the Sun's gravity exerts about .005% compared to the Earth's gravity.
Mass is the key factor here. Uranus has so much mass that the pull on it proportionally is much greater than the Sun's pull on a person (not to mention the countering force of the Earth's mass). Not to mention the centrifugal force of a planet's orbit. The math goes way beyond my simple mind.

And matter is mostly empty space.
