Eli5 with Space and atom’s

So planets are tiny compared to the distance they are from each other, at least according to that YouTube video I watched. Are electrons and neutrons similarly sized and spaced? And if so is that some E=MCsquared type stuff?

The distances between the nucleus and electrons in atoms, if the nucleus was the sun and electrons were the planets, would be way further apart than planets are the sun. So, while atoms are very tiny, the scales are pretty extreme.

E = MC^2 that just describes the relationship between Energy and the “Rest Mass” of something, which is to say there is a lot of energy contained within the mass of something.
