How can i build a scale model of the solar system?We Answered:
I'm assuming that he means to scale in terms of size, not distance, because if you scale everything down so that the moon is represented by the ball from a ballpoint pen, your model will still be half a mile long. As far as size, I'll use the same scale. Starting with the smallest item, the moon.Moon: .5mm - tip from a ballpoint pen (a b*tch to get out, but a good visual)
Mercury: .75mm
Mars: 1mm - head of a pin
Venus: 1.8mm
Earth: 2mm
Neptune: 7.6mm
Uranus: 7.8mm - about the size of a pea
Saturn: 1.7cm - large marble
Jupiter: 2.1cm - slightly larger marble
Sun: 8 inches - a grapefruit, roughly
You can obviously scale it however you want, but that's a starting point.
