Suppose we imagine the Sun to be about the size of a grapefruit. Which of the following describes the size and distance of Earth

galben [10]

Answer:

'Earth is the size of a tip of a ballpoint pen about 15 m away from the sun, is the correct answer.

Explanation

Radius of sun = 7 x 10^8 m

Radius of the earth = 6.37 x 10^6 m

Radius of grapefruit = 7.6 x 10^-2 m

Since sun is the size of a grapefruit.

So, our scale = (7.6 x 10^-2) / (7 x 10^8) = 10^-10

Means the scale is approximately, 1:10^-10

So, size of earth = 6.37 x 10^6 x 10^-10 = 6.37 x 10^-4 m (Size of ballpoint)

As we know that the distance between the sun and the earth = 14.9 x 10^10 m

So, in our scale, distance between the sun and the earth = 14.9 x 10^10 x 10^-10 = 14.9 m

which is approximately 15 meters.
