Question

our solar system is made up of the sun and all the objects that move around it. these objects include planets, moons, asteroids, and comets. the sizes of the objects in the solar system are difficult to imagine without the help of a model. models make certain characteristics of a system easier to understand. a model can be a physical object, a graph, a diagram, or a simulation. the diagram below is a model that shows the relative sizes of the sun, the moon, and earth. the two small dots represent the accurate sizes of earth and the moon compared to the sun. a close - up view of earth and the moon is also shown. about how many times smaller is earths diameter than the suns diameter? 5 10 100

Explanation:

Step1: Recall size - ratio knowledge

The Sun's diameter is about 1.392 million kilometers and Earth's diameter is about 12,742 kilometers.

Step2: Calculate the ratio

$\frac{1392000}{12742}\approx109$. Among the given options, 100 is the closest.

Answer:

100
