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.

What kinds of distances would you choose to make measurements in millimeters and kilometers?

Millimeters are typically used for very small distances, such as the thickness of paper or small electronic components. Kilometers are used for much larger distances, like the length of a road or the distance between cities.


What instrument measures distance between cities?

A common instrument used to measure distance between cities is a map scale. Maps provide a visual representation of the relative distance between locations and often include a scale that allows users to translate map distances into actual physical distances. GPS devices and online mapping services also provide accurate measurements of distance between cities.

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.
