1) The moon is about 250,000 miles away from the Earth. To the nearest centimetre, how far would it be from the Earth in our scale model?
2) In this mode, how far away from the Earth would the Sun be?
We can not do this without knowing the scale ratio between your model and the real thing.
Unless your scale is expressed in number of centimeters to real miles, you will have to do the conversion of miles to centimeters first.
sry i will write whole questions:
Do you know how big the Sun is? The Sun is 400 times as big as the Moon and 400 times as far away.
The Moon: 2.5mm diameter
a) How big would the Sun be if the Moon were the size shown above?
b) The Sun is actually about 865,000 miles in diameter, so 1 cm of the model represents how many miles?
c) The Moon is about 250,000 miles away from the Earth. To the nearest centimetre, how far would it be from the Earth in our scale model?
d) In this model, how far away from the Earth would the Sun be?
I do not understand above questions of b), c) and d) . Thank you so much for your help

To calculate the distance in a scale model, we need to determine the scale of the model. Without a specific scale, I won't be able to provide an exact answer. However, I can explain how to calculate it using a hypothetical scale.
1) To determine the distance in a scale model, you need to establish a ratio between the real distance and the scaled distance. Let's assume we have a 1:1,000,000 scale model, where 1 unit in the model represents 1,000,000 units in reality.
To find the distance in the model, you can use the following formula:
Distance in model = Real distance / Scale
In this case, the real distance from the Earth to the Moon is approximately 250,000 miles or 402,336 kilometers. Let's convert it to centimeters for convenience:
402,336 kilometers = 402,336,000 meters = 40,233,600,000 centimeters
Now, plug in the values into the formula:
Distance in model = 40,233,600,000 cm / 1,000,000 = 40,233.6 cm
Hence, in our hypothetical 1:1,000,000 scale model, the distance from the Earth to the Moon would be approximately 40,233.6 centimeters.
2) Similarly, to determine the distance of the Sun from the Earth in a scale model, we would need to establish the scale. Since you did not provide a specific scale, I cannot provide an exact answer. However, using the same methodology described above, one can determine the distance in the scale model by dividing the real distance between the Sun and the Earth by the scale value. Remember, the actual distance from the Sun to the Earth is about 93 million miles (149.6 million kilometers) or approximately 14.96 million kilometers.
