Could you show the planets relative sizes and distances from the sun in the same diagram on one page?

How do the distances between inner planets compare to distances between the outer planets?
The distances between the inner planets is smaller than the distances between the outer planets.
Why would it be wrong to use the same scale to show both the relative size of planets and their distance from the sun?
The distances of the planets to the Sun are far greater than the sizes of the planets. For example: the Earth is about 12,000 km in diameter, but its distance to the Sun is 149,600,000 km.
How do the distances between the inner planets compare?
These distances compare from a long distance but one that is not nearly as far as the distance between the outer planets.
How far apart are the planets?
It varies. The planets move in their orbits at different distances from the sun and at vaying speeds. The distances between them is constantly changing.

what Think about plotting the distances as points on a number line where 0 represents the position of the Sun. Based on your scaling work in question 1, what is one challenge of modeling the distances of inner and outer planets using the same scale?

Based on your scaling work in question 1, what is one challenge of modeling the distances of inner and outer planets using the same scale? You can create a rough sketch on a separate piece of paper to guide you.
What is true about the distances between planets?
The distances between planets depend on where in their orbit they are.

How are distances of planets measured?
they are measured in AU
What are the distances between planets greater between the inner or outer planets?
The inner planets are closer together than the outer planets are.

The distance between an inner planet and the Sun is small compared with the distance between an outer planet and the Sun. If inner and outer planets are drawn to the same scale on a number line, the inner planets will bunch near zero (the Sun’s position) and might appear on top of one another.
