By the way, if you didn't really pay attention at the end, Alexa did really say that it would be impossible to represent the distance between Earth and Proxima Centauri in a Minecraft world. We all know how the worldborder is so far out and that a Minecraft world is 8 times bigger than Earth, but even in a scale where the Earth is just a couple centimeters in size, that huge amount of space is not enough to accurately depict the interstellar distance.

Yup, Mercury may have a much higher surface temperature on the side facing the Sun, but the side facing away from the Sun can get nearly as cold as the moon at night, and the craters on the poles even perpetually contain water ice. Venus, on the other hand, is almost entirely the same temp with little variation. Atmosphere makes all the difference.
