How do you scale down the distance between planets?

Scaling down the distance between planets is not feasible. The distances between planets in our solar system are vast, and scaling them down would require compressing the entire solar system. Additionally, altering the distances between planets would disrupt the delicate gravitational balance and have catastrophic consequences for the solar system as a whole.

Why is the unit of measurements used for the distances of planets from the sun different from the unit used for their sizes?

most planets can be measured by 1000's of kms but when the distances are so vast you would have to many 0's (enough to make your head spin) and there fore a lot easier to grasp.

Why amplitude modulation used for long distances?

AM travels well over longer distances than FM is capable of, but has a lower fidelity and is more susceptible to metal, which is why it is not used as often in cities.
