Question

In terms of size, use analogies from real life to draw comparisons for each of the following (for example, the Earth is to the Moon as a grapefruit is to an apricot). Diagrams representing the analogies are required for this problem, and you should justify each analogy with numerical support. A) The Earth to the Sun. B) The size of the solar system to the distance between the sun and the star nearest to the sun. C) The solar system to the Milky Way Galaxy. D) The Milky Way Galaxy to the local group. E) The Milky Way Galaxy to the observable universe.

Explanation / Answer

A The Earth to the Sun Diameters are relatively, 12756 km and 1392000 km Analogy would be a Grape to a Giant Beach Ball about 4 feet diameter B The size of the solar system to the distance between the sun and the star nearest to the sun Diameter of solar system and distance of the nearest star are respectively, 3.2 light years (diameter of teh Ort Cloud) and 4.3 light years 10 km to about 300 km. C The solar system to the Milky way Galaxy Diameter of solar system and milky way galaxy are respectively, 3.2 light years (diameter of teh Ort Cloud) and 100000 light years 10 km to four times the distance from tthe moon D The Milky Way Galaxy to the local group Diameter of milky way galaxy and local group, are respectively, 100000 light years and 10 million light years 100 times E The Milky way Galaxy to the observable universe Diameter of milky way galaxy and observable universe, are respectively, 100000 light years and 156 billion light years 1560000 times
