If we scale the approximate size of the Sun (~1 billion meters)
to fit onto a DVD (about
100mm or 0.1m), how many DVDs would you have to connect as a chain
to represent the distance to the nearest star? Use the fact that
Alpha Centauri is about 10¹⁶ meters away from Earth. Hint:
determine the scale factor which reduces the true size of the Sun
to a DVD and apply it to the distance to Alpha Centauri.
If you started this chain of DVDs in Ann Arbor, what city in Michigan could you reach?

ASTRONOMY 4. Suppose we make a scale model of the Solar System in which the model Earth is 1 centimeter in radius (about the size of a piece of candy). The real Earth is 6.4x10"cm in radius. Jupiter is 7.1x10°cm in radius. How big must the scale model version of Jupiter be in order to be the right size relative to the Earth? 5. Kepler's Third Law of planetary motion relates the time, P, i takes a planet to complete...
show calculations please! In Astronomy we often deal with distances, or lengths, that range form the very small to the very large. For instance The size of a nucleus is roughly 0.000, 000,000,000,001 meters and the distance to the nearest star is roughly 700,000,000,000 meters. We will talk about these numbers using scientific notation where each zero is counted as ten raised to an exponent equal to the number of zeros. Le the size of a nucleus is 1 x...
