Question

The earth is about 12,760 km m diameter and shout 150 million kilometers away from the sun The nearest stars besides the Sun are about 4.3 light-years away (1 light-year = 9.5 Times 10^12 km). At a scale of 1 to 10 billion, the Sun would be about the size of a grapefruit. How big and how far away would the Earth be on this scale? How far would the nearest stars (besides the Sun) be? Approximately now big would the Earth's diameter be on this scale? 2.5 cm 9.2 mm 7.2 cm 1.3 mm Approximately how far away would the two objects be on this scale? 1 km 15 m 50 cm 200

Explanation / Answer

Diameter of earth = 12760 km

And 12760 km = 12760000000 mm

We divide the diameter by 10 billion in order to scale it

Ie 12760000000/10000000000 = 1.276 which is approximately = 1.3mm
