Scale of the Solar System Calculations and The Model Questions

Procedure:Use 1 mm for the diameter of the sun. Fill in the table below with the size of each planet and the size of its orbit radius if the sun was 1 mm in diameter. Calculate the values for the table using the following formula. The Sun’s scale diameter is 1 mm. The actual distance is the body diameter or orbit radius you are trying to find and the Sun’s actual diameter is given in the table below. The answer will be in mm. To convert to meters for the orbit radius, you need to divide mm by 1000:
