@Nerd123 help!!!

OpenStudy (chrisneedshelp):

Sun 1,391,000 Mercury 4,879 Venus 12,104 Earth 12,756 Mars 6,794 Jupiter 142,984 Saturn 120,526 Uranus 51,118 Neptune 49,528 it says to multiply these by 0.0000000072

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Jupiter is about 1/10 of the sun and 1.02m is about 1/10 of 10m. I think your problem is that most pocket calculators cannot handle 10 figure numbers like 0.0000000072 Earth is about 1/100 of the sun so expect about 0.1m Trick try doing the sum in km not meters so multiply by 0.0000072 then convert in your head by removing 3 naughts ot zeros or just drop the kilo from kilometer and there you are EX Earth is 12756 km X 0,0000072 = 0.0918 km divide by 1000 = 0.0918 m Check earth is about 1/100 sun diameters so expect the answer to be about 0.1 meters or 10 cm so that works. to sum up only 5 zeros after the decimal point and you have it.

OpenStudy (chrisneedshelp):

1.You have seen how large Jupiter would be if the Sun were a 10-meter sphere. Using the same scale, how large would the other planets be? Give your answers in meters, rounded to the nearest one thousandth. 2.To what common objects would the scaled Sun and planets be similar in size? (Hint: You might want to convert the meters to inches if it helps you visualize the sizes of the scaled planets. One meter equals 39.37 inches.)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If the sun is a 10 meter sphere. The Diameter of each of the planets would be. 1. Mercury 34.9 mm 2. Venus 86.9 mm 3. Earth 91.5 mm 4. Mars 48.5 mm 5. Jupiter 1027.2 mm 6. Saturn 836.5 mm 7. Uranus 337.2 mm 8.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

does this help

OpenStudy (chrisneedshelp):

yes :D

OpenStudy (chrisneedshelp):

what would be number 8?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Neptune 326.4 mm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is this good

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and u are in which grade

OpenStudy (chrisneedshelp):

yes you are like the best now for number two? 2.To what common objects would the scaled Sun and planets be similar in size? (Hint: You might want to convert the meters to inches if it helps you visualize the sizes of the scaled planets. One meter equals 39.37 inches.)

OpenStudy (chrisneedshelp):

10th you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hahaha you are 14 and in 10th i am 14 and i am in 8th

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Converting centimeters into millimeters, you have to follow the same method. Multiply the given value in centimeters by 10 and you will get the answer in millimeters. [ [ Or you remember the relation 1centimeter = 10millimeters.1 centimeter = 10 millimeters. ] ]

OpenStudy (chrisneedshelp):

lol 2 is hard i need to find objects that would represent the planets, you need to change the answers from meters to inches and find objects that are those sizes that can represent each planet

OpenStudy (chrisneedshelp):

@Nerd123

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok its hard let me think bro

OpenStudy (chrisneedshelp):

alright

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its hard very hard

OpenStudy (chrisneedshelp):

:(

OpenStudy (chrisneedshelp):

lol ok can you change those answers you gave me from milimeters to meters? Mercury 34.9 mm Venus 86.9 mm Earth 91.5 mm Mars 48.5 mm Jupiter 1027.2 mm Saturn 836.5 mm Uranus 337.2 mm Neptune 326.4 mm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i thinks its i n meter

OpenStudy (chrisneedshelp):

but it says mm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

To question two....For representing the Sun with a basketball of 29.5 inches in diameter, then Earth would be represented by a small marble of a bit more than a quarter of an inch in diameter. Would this work?? :/

OpenStudy (chrisneedshelp):

omg yes!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank god some on answered i was confused

OpenStudy (chrisneedshelp):

lol yes omg i lovee you both can you give me more for the other planets?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i can give you more for other planets :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hahaha yeah like ur tutors

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a softball could be used for Jupiter and Saturn. Use baseballs for Earth and Venus, a ping ball for Mars, Neptune and Uranus. And use a large shooter marble for Mercury. Since they declassified Pluto as a planet, you won't have to worry about that one...? Would this be okay?

OpenStudy (chrisneedshelp):

awesome

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ha hah i like how astronomy can be related to sport

OpenStudy (chrisneedshelp):

lol yayyyyyy

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OR....ball of yarn but a big one Uranus:huge gravel or small rock the rest bigger to smaller marbles

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you could use that also

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which ever you prefer...

OpenStudy (chrisneedshelp):

does everyone love me as much as i love them?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OK now its geography and science how many lev els its gonna reach

OpenStudy (chrisneedshelp):

lmao

OpenStudy (chrisneedshelp):

.1: Mercury 34.9 mm Venus 86.9 mm Earth 91.5 mm Mars 48.5 mm Jupiter 1027.2 mm Saturn 836.5 mm Uranus 337.2 mm Neptune 326.4 mm i need this changed to meters guys!!

OpenStudy (chrisneedshelp):

lmao

OpenStudy (chrisneedshelp):

whos gonna do it!? :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i'm lookin'

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah mee tooo

OpenStudy (chrisneedshelp):

:P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The Earth’s diameter is 12,742 km The diameter of Jupiter is 142,981 km at its equator Saturn has a diameter of 120,536 km Uranus’ diameter is 51,118 km The diameters of Neptune’s 49,500 km you can now easily change it to meters

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Mercury-0.0349 Venus-0.0869 Earth-0.0915 Mars-0.0485 Jupiter-1.0272 Saturn-0.8365 Uranus - 0.3372 Neptune-326.4 I converted all these into meters...you wanted that correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

from mm to meters?

OpenStudy (chrisneedshelp):

is that right ? i need the sun too yea from mm to meters

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hahah a more easier way but a lot of work nice job

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks..okay for what is the sun in mm?

OpenStudy (chrisneedshelp):

idk can you find it, its diameter is 1,391,000 times that by 0.000000072

OpenStudy (chrisneedshelp):

its 0.010052km convert that to meters

OpenStudy (chrisneedshelp):

0.0100152 km

OpenStudy (chrisneedshelp):

@Nerd123

OpenStudy (chrisneedshelp):

10.0152 meters

OpenStudy (anonymous):

maybe remove the e-5 1.00152

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No idea @ChrisNeedsHelp

OpenStudy (chrisneedshelp):

got it lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So you all good now? lol

OpenStudy (chrisneedshelp):

lol yup i swear i owe you alot <3 i love you some much @studmuffin and you too @Nerd123 thanks guys <3

OpenStudy (anonymous):
