I'm making a to-scale solar system model out of the sting. this model will be made of paper, string blue-tack.
Aim: To make a scale model of the solar system.
Equipment:
You'll need Paper, 10m of string, some blue tack and paint/colouring in pencils.
Method:
1. First find all of the equipment that you'll need. like, paper and the 10m of string.
2. Then convert the size of the solar system to 10m meters.
3. Plot out where on the sting each planet will sit.
4. Draw/trace out the pictures of each planet and cut them out.
5. Stick and cut out planets and stick them to their corresponding spots on the string using blue-tack.
done!
1m = 4.4 x 10^11m
Distances:
Mercury: 57,91 million Km = 13 cm
Venus: 108.2 million Km = 24 cm
Earth: 149.6 million Km = 33cm
Mars 227.9 million Km = 51cm
Jupiter: 778.5 million Km = 1.76m
Saturn: 1.434 billion Km = 3.2m
Uranus: 2.871 billion Km = 6.5m
Neptune: 4.495 billion Km = 10m
Research:
Mercury: Mercury is the closest planet to the sun at only 57.91 million Km away from it.
Venus: Is the second closest planet to the sun at only 108.2 million Km away from it.
Earth: Earth is the planet that we live on and it is the third planet from the sun. The earth orbits the sun at a distance of 149.6 million Km.
Mars: Mars is the fourth planet from the sun and orbits 227.9 million Km away.
Jupiter: Jupiter is the fifth planet in the solar system and is the biggest planet. (other than the sun). it orbits 778.5 million Km away from the sun.
Saturn: Is the sixth planet in the solar system and orbits 1.434 billion Km away from the sun.
Uranus: Is the seventh planet in the solar system and orbits the sun 2.871 billion Km away.
Neptune: Neptune is the eighth planet from the sun and orbits it 4.495 billion Kms away.
