distance scale 1 cm : 1 astronomical unit (note the mention of lower-case) or 149,597,870.7 km. Provide a simple ruler, a pencil, and an example, and have students make their own to take home. Tape the information onto the back of the sheet, for those who want to keep the actual numbers.
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:

Grades: 6-12. Subject: Space Science. Purpose: Students create a scale model of planetary distances in the solar system. It is a good way to demonstrate the vast distances among the outer planets and to apply math skills in proportion.
Download the Scale Size and Distance Spreadsheet (XLSX or CSV) or the Solar System Sizes and Distances reference guide if calculating manually. Decide on the diameter of Earth in your scale model. Keep in mind that a 1-cm Earth means the scale distance from the Sun to Neptune is about two miles.
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.
This 2D visual model illustrates the scale of the sun and planets in our solar system, and their current distance from each other.
