To determine the scale used in the table, we need to compare the diameters of the paper circles to the actual diameters of the planets. Unfortunately, without access to the table or specific measurements, I cannot provide the exact scale used.
Regarding the correct comparison of the paper model of the planet Earth to the actual planet Earth, it would depend on the specific measurements provided in the table. If the diameter of the paper circle for Earth on the model is proportionate to the actual diameter of Earth, then the comparison would be accurate. However, without the specific measurements, I cannot provide a definitive answer.
To determine the scale used in the table, you can compare the diameters of the paper circles to the actual diameters of the planets they represent.
1. Find the diameter of the paper circle representing a specific planet.
2. Find the actual diameter of that planet.
3. Divide the diameter of the paper circle by the actual diameter of the planet.
4. The resulting value will be the scale used for that specific planet.
For example, if the paper circle representing the planet Jupiter has a diameter of 2 centimeters and the actual diameter of Jupiter is 139,820 kilometers (or 139,820,000,000 centimeters), the scale for Jupiter would be calculated as follows:
2 cm (diameter of paper circle) / 139,820,000,000 cm (actual diameter of Jupiter) = 1.432 x 10^-11
Therefore, the scale used for Jupiter in this example is approximately 1.432 x 10^-11.
To determine a correct comparison of the paper model of the planet Earth to the actual planet Earth, you'll need to compare their diameters using the scale provided in the table or calculate the scale yourself. Once you have the scale, you can multiply the paper model's diameter by the scale to find the actual diameter of Earth.
For instance, if the paper model Earth's diameter is 3 centimeters and the scale is 1:50,000,000, you would multiply the model's diameter by the scale:
3 cm (diameter of paper model) x 50,000,000 = 150,000,000 cm
Therefore, the actual diameter of Earth would be approximately 150,000,000 centimeters according to the given scale.
