Question

In creating an accurate scale model of our solar system, Lana placed Earth 1 foot from the Sun. The actual distance from Earth to the Sun is 93,000,000 miles. If the actual distance from Pluto to the Sun is 3,695,950,000 miles, how far from the Sun would Lana need to place Pluto in her model

Answer 1

Pluto would be placed 39.74 feet far from the Sun.

Astronomers use the gap between Earth and the sun, which is ninety-three million miles, as a new unit of measure called the Astronomical Unit.

Map scale refers to the connection (or ratio) between the space on a map and the corresponding distance on the ground. For example, on a 1:one hundred thousand scale map, 1cm at the map equals 1km on the ground.

The distance between the earth and solar, a = around 150 million km, is defined as one Astronomical Unit (AU). The radius of the solar, the solar is around 700,000 km.
