"partially to-scale"
-
the aphelion of sedna is ~900 au compared to the closest estimate of the oort cloud being 2k au compared to the farthest estimate of 20k au and it also ends at ~200k au
-
sedna has a more elliptical orbit with a perihelion (close point) of 76 au compared to the closest part of the heliosphere at 100 au which also isn't spherical as there is a tail extending for thousands of au outwards
-
sedna isnt on a circular orbit
-
Correction: The Kuiper Belt was in the outer Solar System, not inner.
