Final answer:

To accurately represent the moons of our solar system in a model, you should find an Earth globe and an object about one-fourth its size to represent the moon, then place them at the appropriate distance apart. This will provide a visual representation of the size and distance relationship between Earth and its moons in our solar system.

Step-by-step explanation:

To accurately represent the moons of our solar system in a model, you should:

  1. Find an Earth globe and an object about one-fourth its size to represent the moon.
  2. Place the Earth and the moon at their appropriate distance apart.
  3. Report on how far the Earth and moon are placed from each other.
  4. Take a personalized/unique picture to document the model.
  5. Take time to appreciate how big Earth would look from the moon.

Using this method will provide a visual representation of the size and distance relationship between Earth and its moons in our solar system.
