What is a good size for an earth model?

The size or scale would depend on what you need to show. For instance, if you wanted to show the size of the earth compared to the solar system you would only need a small model. If you wish to show all the continents and countries you would need a much larger model.


What makes a better model of the earth an apple or a peach?

An apple would make a better model of the Earth than a peach, as the apple's round shape more closely resembles the shape of the Earth. Additionally, apples are often used to represent celestial bodies due to their symmetry and size, making them a more suitable choice for representing the Earth in scale models.


How exactly far away wold planets be in a small replica size?

The distance between planets in a small replica model would vary depending on the scale used for the model. For example, using a 1:100 scale, Earth would be about 1.5 meters away from the Sun, while Mars would be about 5.6 meters away. Adjusting the scale will change the distances accordingly.


The Sun has a diameter of about 865000 miles. Suppose you were making a scale model of the solar system with a scale of 1 inch1000 miles. How wide would the Sun be in your model?

To create a scale model of the Sun with a scale of 1 inch for every 1000 miles, you would divide the Sun's diameter of 865,000 miles by 1000. This calculation gives you a model diameter of 865 inches. Therefore, the Sun would be approximately 72.1 feet wide in your scale model.
