Fairly local examples:
Because it looks pretty in books, the Earth-Moon distance is presented like this:
But the distance indicated shows the Moon should be around 30 Earth diameters away.
That is an actual image taken in the infrared by the Mars Odyssey mission as it was on its way to the Red Planet. If you zoom in you can see the cold (so dark) South Pole of the Earth.
You also see the planets presented like this:
If you did have a view from far enough away to see the orbits of the planets you wouldn't actually be able to see any planets. The distances between them are too large and the planets, relatively speaking, are too small. And even that picture fails to show the scale of the Sun and planets. They are more like this:
And see graphics of the asteroid belt like this…
…and you probably think of this:
In reality, if you were where any particular asteroid was the chances of seeing the next is very close to zero — they are an average of a million kilometres apart.
