Sun is scaled one meter (39") in diameter. Actual Size of Sun: 1,391,000 km (864,000 mi) AU (“Astronomical Unit”) is the average distance between the Sun and Earth: 150 million km (93 million mi) A little more than 100 Sun diameters will span the distance of one AU.
Microsoft Word - ss_distance.doc. Stars and Planets. Scale Model Solar System. Real and Scaled Distances of the Planets . The scale factor is 1 to 10 billion. Every meter in this scale model solar system represents 10 billion meters in the real solar system.
Diameter of planets and their distance from the Sun in kilometers (km): Planet. Diameter (km) Distance from Sun (km) Sun.
Distance: pixels. Desktop version 1.2.2. 1 pixel = 1,000 km. This 2D visual model illustrates the scale of the sun and planets in our solar system, and their current distance from each other.
Use your large parks to create a TRULY scale model Solar System in both size AND scale, something practically impossible in any other venue. It can be elaborate, like in the above picture from the Peoria Riverfront Museum in IL, or just print out the NASA "Planets to Scale PDF," and find some space.
Scale Model of the Solar System. Goals: To get an idea of the scale of the solar system with the sizes of the planets. To be able to correctly change from “real” distances to scale distances. What You Turn In:
Have you ever wondered about the sizes of planets in the solar system or the distances between them? In this project, you will create your own scale model of the solar system by learning how to calculate scale distances, the relative sizes of planets, or both.
