∙ 14y agoI am not sure how to do the proton the size of a baseball analogy, but if you make the whole atomic nucleus to be the size of a kid's marble, the first electron shell would be positioned slightly more than two miles away.
If the diameter of a marble is about half an inch, and the diameter of a baseball is about 2.9 inches (let's just say it's 3 in. since we're kind of using general estimates anyway), then the baseball sized proton have an electron cloud with a radius of about 12 miles.

∙ 10y agoLet's see: protons are on the femtometer scale and baseballs on the centimeter scale, so there's about a ratio of 10E-15 : 10E-2, or a baseball is around 10E13 or 10,000,000,000,000 times as big as a proton. The distance from Earth to Sun is 150,000,000,000 meters, so the answer is in the neighborhood of 1,500,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 meters. That would be one-and-a-half yottameters.

What the second planet?
venus (in terms of distance from the sun). In terms of distance from the earth, it is Mars In terms of size, it is Saturn.
Why isn't a galaxy's size useful in determining it's distance from earth?
The only thing that can be directly observed is a galaxy's apparent size (angular size). Since galaxies come in different sizes, this can only give a rough idea of the galaxy's distance from Earth.
Is the moon a third of earth?
No. The moon is the same size as the earth. We just see it the way we so because of the distance between them.
What does apparent magnitude depend upon?
apparent magnitude (brightness of a star when viewed from Earth) depends on the size of the star, how hot it is, and its distance from Earth
Which statement best explains why the sun and the moon appear to be about the same size in the atmosphere?
The sun and the moon are the same distance from the earth
How does the moon's distance from earth impact life on earth?
the moon is the right size when it fromed ,and now is the right distance amd size
How can Saturn be seen from earth?
The massive size, the reflectivity and the distance away from earth
Can Saturn be seen from earth?
yes it can, because of its size, reflectivity and distance from earth.
Why isn't a galaxys size alone useful in determining its distance from Earth?
The only thing that can be directly observed is a galaxy's apparent size (angular size). Since galaxies come in different sizes, this can only give a rough idea of the galaxy's distance from Earth.

What kind asteroid properties can be measured from the Earth?
you can measure its distance, size, shape, and composition from the Earth.
