how big is the sun on a 1 to 10 billion scale? How big is the earth in the same scale? Covert answers to cm. Assume Sun’s radius

galben [10]

Answer:

sun is bigger than earth is 13.9 cm

Explanation:

given data

radius of sun = 700,000 km

radius of earth = 6500 km

to find out

how big is the sun

solution

we know here

scale 1 to 10 billion is

scale = $\frac{1}{10*10^9}$

so here

we know that scaled diameter = actual diameter × scale .................1

so for earth

scaled diameter of earth = 2 × 6500 × $\frac{1}{10*10^9}$

scaled diameter of earth = 1.3 × $10^{-6}$

and

scaled diameter of sun = 2 × 700,000 × $\frac{1}{10*10^9}$

scaled diameter of sun = 1.4 × $10^{-4}$

sun is bigger than earth is 1.4 × $10^{-4}$ - 1.3 × $10^{-6}$

sun is bigger than earth is 0.000139 = 13.9 cm

Tidal ranges will be greatest when the earth and the moon are at

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Tidal ranges will be greatest when the Earth and the Moon are at their closest distance.
The Moon with it's gravitational field, pulling force, causes the water on Earth to rise, on the part faced towards the Moon, and to retreat, on the part of the Earth that is not faced towards the Moon. The closer the Earth and the Moon are, the bigger the influence from the Moon and the Earth's surface waters, thus the bigger the tidal range.
