Question

shown compared to their orbits? View Available Hint(s) The video states that the planetary orbits are shown to scale. Which statement correctly describes the way the planet sizes are shown compared to their orbits?
A. The planets should all be about twice as large as shown.

B. The planet sizes are correctly shown on the same scale as the orbits.

C. The planets are all much too large compared to their orbits.

D. Jupiter is shown correctly to scale with its orbit, but all the other planets are too larg.

Answer 1

Answer:

C). The planets are all much too large compared to their orbits.

Explanation:

The third statement most aptly describes how the sizes of the planet are compared to the orbits as the size of the planets is shown 'much too large in comparison to their orbits' in the given video. It must rather be vice versa as the size of the planets ranges differently from the smallest 2439.7 Km(Mercury) to the largest 69,911 Km(Jupiter) while the size of the orbit of the planets ranges from the diameter 4,878 km to 1,20, 536 Km. Thus, option C is the correct answer.
