To determine which planet will have a diameter approximately ten times larger than Mercury on a scale model, we need to compare the sizes of the planets. The scale model is a representation of the actual sizes of the planets in a smaller scale.
The diameter of Mercury is approximately 4,879 kilometers. To find a planet with a diameter approximately ten times larger, we need to multiply Mercury's diameter by 10.
4,879 km * 10 = 48,790 km
Comparing this value with the actual diameters of the planets, we can see that Venus, Mars, and Jupiter have much larger diameters than 48,790 km. However, Neptune's actual diameter is closest to this value.
Therefore, the correct answer is Neptune.
