Here is an example of how to find the from the Sun to Mercury. scale distance We will use the scale ratio of 1,392,000 This is an example of “1m: km”. your You will need to your and “showing math”. “show math” for step three further questions. Mercury scale distance: Here is an example of the using Microsoft Word: “showing math” 5.79 x 107 km x (1m / 1.392 x 106 km ) = 41.595m Here is an example of the using Equation Editor (a little “showing math” complicated): Mercury scale distance: Mean distance from the Sun for Mercury Our scale ratio of 1,392,000 “1m : km” Also notice, in the above example, that we in the in have “km” numerator…and “km” the denominator so the cancel out, leaving units of “km” “m”. You may want to word process or find some blank paper or lined paper and the for the Venus, Earth, selected planet distances from the Sun: “show math,” Jupiter and Neptune. Use your ESRT p.15 for your Mean Distances from the Sun values . Please label each the Mercury scale distance. “show math”…example: Staple this sheet to the back of your lab, when you have completed the calculations. In step 2, you have examples of finding the scale distance. Now, here are examples of finding the of selected planets. scale diameter We will use the same scale ratio of 1,392,000 This is an example of “1m : km”. your You will need to your for step four and further “showing math”. “show math” questions. Mercury scale diameter: Here is an example of the using Microsoft Word: “showing math” 4880 km x (1m / 1.392 x 106 km) = 0.0035m = 3.5mm Over Here is an example of the using Equation Editor: Mercury scale “showing math” diameter:
Here is an example of how to find the scale distance from the Sun to Mercury. We will use the scale ratio of “1m: 1,392,000 km”. This is an example of “showing your math”. You will need to “show your math” for step three and further questions. Mercury scale distance: Here is an example of “showing the math” using Microsoft Word: 5.79 x 107 km x (1m / 1.392 x 106 km ) = 41.595m Here is an example of “showing the math” using Equation Editor (a little complicated): Mercury scale distance: Mean distance from the Sun for Mercury Our scale ratio of “1m : 1,392,000 km” Also notice, in the above example, that we have “km” in the numerator…and “km” in the denominator so the “km” cancel out, leaving units of “m”.
