Mars is a meter and a half. This resource was used as part of our maths fun day where all subjects show how maths can contribute to their subject.

Introduction To The Solar System Earth Science

The Solar System

Choose two orbits calculate their scaled size and draw them making sure to label the sun each orbit and note the size of each orbital radius.

How to draw solar system to scale. This process will help you understand the relative distances each plant is away from the sun. Convert all of the distances using your scale. Resource explains itself.

Draw scale orbits of two objects orbiting the sun that you want to travel between just like you did in the first half of this activity. Use a ruler or measuring tape and your scale to figure out how far away each planet should be. Mercury is about 42 meters away.

Choose a scale to use for your drawing. The saturn is 1025 meters away. Expert eric loberg models the solar system on a centimeter scale.

Earth is a little more than a meter away. Review the order of the planets in the solar system and their characteristics. In science i got the pupils to draw their planets to scale as well as measuring out the solar system to scale.

Place the sun at the start and measure the distance to mercury using the scale distance from sun column. Draw the sun in the exact middle of the page sketching lightly with a pencil. Place or tape the mercury card on the rope.

Use the scaled down distances to draw the solar system to scale. Put a little dot on both sides of the sun then use a compass to draw the orbit by connecting the dots. 100000000 or sun diameter 10 cm or neptune distance from sun 1000 ft.

Go outside where you can walk a long distance in a straight line or around a field or your school. Jupiter 555 and then we start really getting far away from the sun. In another effort to bring these vast distances down to earth weve shrunk the solar system down to the size of a football field.

Again the sun is just your little pinkie finger. How to draw the solar system scaling down the solar system convert the distance between each planet and the sun to astronomical units. Enter scale or diameter or distance select to show table andor map below select options then press calculate.

Venus is almost a meter not quite 8. On this scale the sun by far the largest thing in our solar system is only a ball about 17 mm in diameter sitting on the goal line thats about the width of a us. How to draw the solar system on a centimeter scale.
