How Big is Our Universe? (Measuring Distance in Space) Name: Date: Block: Demo Size of Planets Cue – – Demo Distance between planets (Page 393) – After completion of the scale models of the planets (Page 393), answer the following questions: Solar system objects are typically described as inner and outer. Based on your scale models, describe what you notice about the: (a) size of the inner planets compared with the outer planets inner planets much smaller than outer planets (b) distances to the outer planets compared with the inner planets distances between outer planets much greater than distances between inner planets. How do the distances between the inner planets compare with the distances between the outer planets?_distance between outer planets way bigger than distance between inner planets. (Refer to pp. 396- 404 in BC Science 9). It is difficult to understand the immense size and scale of the universe. Watch this video to give yourself a better understanding of just how immense the universe is. out the scale below: ex. If the size of a human is 1, then the observable universe is about 1026. This video and simulation gives you an idea of how this works. Check out some of the very large and very small object in our universe shown in the simulation!
