Ms. Garcia's science students are studying scale models. For her science project, Sarah has decided to make a scale model of the solar system.
Sarah conducted some research to help her with the diameters of the planets and Sun in her model and found the table you see above. Ms. Garcia
has instructed her students that a model of the solar system MUST include a Sun with a diameter of 1 meter. How does this requirement make the
scale model construction difficult to complete?
4x A There is no way Sarah can find anything to represent several of the planets.
x B Pluto will be too small to see in the model.
(xC The students cannot compute the diameters of the smaller planets.
x
D
Several planets will be very small and difficult to represent.
