Geography

frutty [35]3 years ago

The Map scale is used to figure out the length on how far apart the cities, states, and or countries from each other. If the scale is 1 : x, then divide the actual distance by x to calculate the map distance. If you were in Texas and wanted to figure out how many miles it was to Wyoming. See how many inches it is on a map, which is roughly like 3-4 inches.(Just a guess.)Then look on the bottom of the map and there is a scale. See what the scale says, it might say 3-4 inches is equal to about 1,000 miles.

That is what the scale does and how to use it. :) Hope this helped!

Which statement about the planets in our solar system is true?
Mashutka [201]

<span>Planets orbit in the same plane but not in the same direction.</span> The orbits of all the planets in the solar system are coplanar. This is because the planets are formed from a disk of dust that was found on the solar system plane, and so all the planets are found on the same plane. However, six of the planets orbit in the same direction with the exception of Uranus and Venus.
