Who's this paragraph in a scale model of the solar system the sun is placed at the center and the planets are shown orbiting the circles around it Mars is 1.5 au away from the sun in the model it appears at 30 cm from it which means that oneau equals 20 cm likewise Neptune is 38 you away from the Sun what is the maximum possible distance that can be drawn between Mars and Neptune in the scale models are as far apart as possible when they are on directly opposite sides of the Sun from each other draw a picture with the planets as far apart as possible 1.5 CM 570 CM 28.5 CM 630 cm
According to the given scale where 1 AU is equal to 20 cm, and Mars is 1.5 AU away from the Sun, we can calculate the distance in the scale model as follows:
Distance of Mars in the scale model = 1.5 AU * 20 cm/AU = 30 cm
Similarly, if Neptune is 38 AU away from the Sun, we can calculate the maximum possible distance between Mars and Neptune in the scale model as follows:
Maximum possible distance in the scale model = 38 AU * 20 cm/AU = 760 cm
Therefore, the maximum possible distance that can be drawn between Mars and Neptune in the scale model is 760 cm.
