- Dust and as large as the state of Georgia.
To answer this question, we need to know the range of sizes that asteroids can have.
Asteroids can vary in size, with the smallest ones being only a few meters in diameter, while the largest ones can reach hundreds of kilometers in diameter.
Now, let's consider each option provided:
1. Earth and as large as Saturn: This answer is incorrect because asteroids cannot be as large as planets like Earth or Saturn. They are much smaller in size.
2. A baseball and as large as the Moon: This answer is correct. The size difference between a small asteroid, comparable to a baseball, and a large asteroid, comparable to the Moon, reflects the range of asteroid sizes.
3. Dust and as large as the state of Georgia: This answer is incorrect. While asteroids can be as small as dust particles, they typically do not grow to be as large as the state of Georgia. They can be significantly bigger.
4. The state of Florida and as large as North America: This answer is incorrect as well. Asteroids do not grow to be as large as entire continents like North America.
So, the correct answers are:
- A baseball and as large as the Moon.
Therefore, you should choose options 2 as the correct answers for this question.
