Use this paragraph: In a scale model of the solar system, the sun is placed at the center and the planets are shown orbiting in circles around it. Mars is 1.5 AU away from the sun and in the model, it appears at 30 cm from it which means that 1 AU = 20 cm. Likewise, Neptune is 30 AU away from the sun.
What is the maximum possible distance that can be drawn between Mars and Neptune in the scale model? Hint: Two planets 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.
A. 28.5
B. 570
C. 630
D. 1.4
which one is it this is really confusing me
1. 630 CM
2. about 1 year
3. The planets are placed at the same distance from each other
4. Large planets are easier to express in AU than in km
These are for Connexus! Hope this helps :D
30 Au * (20 cm / Au) = 600 cm
so 600 + 30 = 630 cm
Missing data would make a model inaccurate.
5th one btw
