A student wants to draw a scale model of the solar system. In three to four sentences or bullet points, explain what steps should be taken to create this model. (4 points)
Dont use it to cheat just use it to check yours please :) and have a good day
Well like the last one I am going to go into depth of explanation of this :) , so the first thing that you would of wanted to do if you were going to make a solar system model you would have to first make the sun, then Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and there is a way you can remember the order and its with his saying, (My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Noodles) its weird but it can help you understand there order, and if you were going to draw the model you can do it like this,
Sun, <--- a flaming gas ball,
Mercury, <---- Smallest planet,
Venus, <--- Very hot atmosphere/ surface,
Earth, <--- Has life on it and rocky terrain with wind and water,
Jupiter, <--- Gas giant planet,
Saturn, <---- Second giant gas planet,
Uranus, <--- Ice giant/mostly made of icy material,
Neptune, <--- Dark/cold/very winding and farthest from the sun
, and yes sorry that his is hard to see :/ I tried my best to explain it and show how I would of modeled it, and also if you don't know Atmo means smoke or vapor and sphere is a ball or round shape, and those two words together make vapor ball and vapor ball can be said in a more fancy word, which is known as Atmo-sphere :)
To create a scale model of the solar system, the student should follow these steps:
1. Determine the scale: Decide on the size ratio that will be used to represent the real distances and sizes of the planets. For example, 1 inch representing 10 million miles.
2. Gather accurate measurements: Research and gather the diameter, distance from the Sun, and other relevant information about each planet. Use these measurements to calculate the scaled-down dimensions for the model.
3. Choose a central object: Select a suitable object to represent the Sun. It could be a large ball, a balloon, or even just a circular marker. Place it at the center of the model.
4. Place the planets: Using the scale determined in step 1, position each planet accurately in relation to the Sun, based on their distances and sizes. Use objects of appropriate sizes, such as different-sized balls or Styrofoam spheres, to represent the planets.
