Ms. huskey asked her science class to develop a scale model of the solar system where the sun has a diameter of 1.0 m given that the sun has a diameter of 1,392,000 km. how large should shannon make the smallest planet in his scale model of the solar system?

3.5 mm

Explanation:

Given the size of the sun, the scale ratio is :

Now to determine how large the smallest planet should be, you just need to make sure that its measurement is proportion to that scale. According to your table, the smallest planet is Mercury with a diameter of 4,879.4 km. Now we can write a proportion for this, to determine the scale:

Cross multiply then divide to solve for x.

So the smallest planet would be 0.0035m. Since your choices are in mm (and that is a very small number to estimate) we can convert it into mm.

1 meter = 1,000 millimeters

The answer is then 3.5mm.

1. loamy sand is about 80% sand with 10% clay and defined mostly by sand particles with some clay to provide structure and fertility. the sand particles are easily visible and the soil holds structure but breaks apart easily.

2. scott sand can improve his soil quality by incorporating more silt and organic matter into the soil. peat moss and organic matter can also be incorporated.
