• the size of a basketball
• the size of a tennis ball
• the size of a small pile of bread crumbs
• the size of a shoe
Unfortunately, the question does not provide specific information about the size of the other objects in the model.
In the model of the solar system where the sun is represented as a loaf of bread, the size of everything else can be compared as follows:
• The size of everything else in this model is the size of a basketball.
To determine the size of everything else in the model of the solar system, we can look at the comparison given: the sun is represented as a loaf of bread. Now, we need to compare the size of the other objects to the sun.
If the sun is the size of a loaf of bread, we can assume that everything else in the model will be scaled down proportionately. Let's go through each option and determine which one best fits this scale:
- The size of a basketball: A basketball is significantly larger than a loaf of bread, so this option can be ruled out.
- The size of a tennis ball: A tennis ball is smaller than a basketball but still larger than a loaf of bread. Therefore, this option is unlikely as well.
- The size of a small pile of bread crumbs: This option suggests that the other objects in the solar system would be much smaller than the sun, which is represented as a loaf of bread. Hence, this option is unlikely.
- The size of a shoe: A shoe is generally larger than a loaf of bread, which means this option does not match the given scale.
From the options provided, it seems that none of them accurately represent the size relationship between the sun and the other objects in the model. However, the most plausible option, considering the comparison of a loaf of bread to other objects, would be "the size of a tennis ball" since it is closer in size to a loaf of bread compared to the other options.
