No, it couldn't be.
On that scale, Neptune would be almost 1,740 MILES from the sun.
ON THAT SCALE !

Answer:

No

Explanation:

Given the relative scale (1mm = 1mile) lets calculate the size of the Sun and distance of planets from the Sun in mm.

Diameter of Sun = 864938 miles = 864938 mm = 864.938 meters

Distance of Earth from the Sun = 92955810 miles = 92955810 mm = 92.955 km = 57.75 miles

Distance of Jupiter from Sun = 480000000 miles = 480000000 mm = 480 km = 298 miles

As can be seen, the magnitude of scaled down distances is too huge to fit inside a city.

It will not be practically possible to make such a model.

Answer:

C = 16544.35\, USD

Explanation:

The annual electricity cost is:

C = (\frac{1}{0.93} )\cdot(75\, h.p.)\cdot(0.746\, kW)\cdot(2500\,h)\cdot(\frac{3600\,s}{1\,h} )\cdot(\frac{1\,kWh}{3600\,kJ} )\cdot (0.11\,\frac{USD}{kWh} )

C = 16544.35\, USD
