The table to the right gives size and distance data for the planets at a certain point in time. Calculate the scaled size and distance for each planet using a 1 to 10 billion scale model solar system.

The table to the right gives size and distance data for the planets at a certain point in time. Calculate the scaled size and distance for each planet using a 1 to 10 billion scale model solar system.

Planet Diameter Distance from Sun 4880 km 52.2 million km Mercury Venus 12,100 km 108.1 million km 12,760 km 147.2 million km Earth 6790 km 217.8 million km Mars 143.000 Km 770.7 million km upiter 1427 million km Saturn 120,000 km 0 km 2752 million km Uranus Neptune 48,400 km 4529 million km

Explanation / Answer

1 k.m = 1000 m                                                                           1million= 1,000,000

1m = 1000 mm                                                                            1 million km= 1,000,000,000m

1 km = 1,000,000 mm

Planet Diameter Distance from Sun Mercury .4,880,000,000 mm 52,200,000,000 m Venus 12,100,000,000 mm 108,100,000,000 m Earth 12,760,000,000 mm 147,200,000,000 m Mars 6,790,000,000 mm 217,800,000,000 m Jupiter 143,000,000,000 mm 770,700,000,000 m Saturn 120,000,000,000 mm 142,700,000,000 m Uranus 52,000,000,000 mm 2,752,000,000,000 m Neptune 48,400,000,000 mm 4,529,000,000,000 m
