Question

Michael makes a model to show the distances between the Sun and the planets.
Earth is 1.50 x 10¹¹ m from the Sun. The distance on the model is 30 cm. What is the ratio of the lengths of the model to the actual distance?

Answer 1

Answer:  Use ratios to solve:

30/1.5x10¹¹ = 56.2/n

30n=1.5x10¹¹x56.2

n=2.81 x 10¹¹

Mars is 2.81 x 10¹¹ meters away from the sun.
