Answer: The diameter of the drawing of the planet= 14 mm

Explanation:

Given: In a drawing of the solar system the scale is 1 mm = 500 km

which means
1 \ km=(1)/(500)mm on the drawing.

The diameter of planet =7000 kilometers.

Then the diameter of the drawing of the planet
=(7000)/(500)=14

Therefore, the diameter of the drawing of the planet= 14 mm.
