Answer:

3.2 miles

Explanation:

  • If the Astronomical units is about 1 A.U which is = 1/2 plate then the diameter = 2 inches will be of  10,000 AU   2 X 10,000 = 20,000 inches.
  • Thus the 20,000 A.U / 12 = 1,666 feet   1,666 / 5280 = /3 of a mile  then the  10,000 AU  2 X 100,000 = 200,000 inches.
  • 20,000 / 12 = 16,666 feet  
  • 16,666 / 5280 = 3.2 miles
