Question

question 1 of 10 the sun - earth - moon system can be modeled by using three balls. which statement describes a benefit of this model? a. all parts of the entire solar system can be modeled in the same way. b. the model shows only how moon phases happen. c. it can be easily manipulated to represent changes that occur slowly. d. the actual sun - earth - moon system moves too quickly to be studied directly.

Explanation:

The model of the Sun - Earth - Moon system using three balls is a simple and tangible way to represent a complex system. It can be easily moved and adjusted to show the slow - changing positions and relationships between the Sun, Earth, and Moon. Option A is incorrect as it doesn't model the entire solar system. Option B is too narrow as it's not just for moon phases. Option D is wrong because the actual system moves slowly (e.g., Earth's orbit around the Sun takes a year).

Answer:

C. It can be easily manipulated to represent changes that occur slowly.
