To answer this question, we can use the given information that the sun in the model is represented as a loaf of bread. We are asked about the size of everything else in this model relative to the sun.
If the sun is represented by a loaf of bread, we can assume that the other objects in the solar system would be scaled down proportionally.
Based on the given responses, we can see that the options are:
1) the size of a small pile of bread crumbs
2) the size of a tennis ball
3) the size of a basketball
4) the size of a shoe
Out of these options, the most appropriate comparison would be "the size of a tennis ball".
In this model, the sun is represented by a loaf of bread, which tends to be much larger than a tennis ball in real life. Therefore, if the sun is scaled down to the size of a loaf of bread, it is logical to assume that the other celestial objects in the model, such as the planets, would be scaled down to a size comparable to that of a tennis ball.
