The Solar System to Scale: Dynamic 2D Model
网页Diameter: 49 pixels. Distance: pixels. 1 pixel = 1,000 km. This 2D visual model illustrates the scale of the sun and planets in our solar system, and their current distance from each other.
网页Sun is scaled one meter (39") in diameter. Actual Size of Sun: 1,391,000 km (864,000 mi) AU (“Astronomical Unit”) is the average distance between the Sun and Earth: 150 million km (93 million mi) A little more than 100 Sun diameters will span the distance of one AU.
Student Project: Make a Scale Solar System | NASA/JPL Edu
网页In this project, you will create your own scale model of the solar system by learning how to calculate scale distances, the relative sizes of planets, or both. Then, use beads and string , sidewalk chalk , or your own creative choice of materials to build a model you can explore – or maybe even wear!
Build a Solar System Model - Exploratorium
网页You can now build your scale model. You can do this with a long tape measure, or you can measure the size of your pace and walk it off counting the number of steps you take. To mark a planet's place you can use a piece of paper on a post that you stick into the ground, or you can use a flag, or even a person.
To Scale: THE SOLAR SYSTEM - YouTube
网页2015年9月16日 · On a dry lakebed in Nevada, a group of friends build the first scale model of the solar system with complete planetary orbits: a true illustration of our pla...
Student Video: Solar System Size and Distance | NASA/JPL Edu
网页How big are the planets and how far away are they compared to each other? See how the sizes of planets and the distances between them compare. And find out why it's so hard to create a scale model of the solar system that accurately represents both size and distance on a single screen or the page of a book.
VOS4O - The Solar system at scale
网页VOS 4 O offers a simple solution to scale our solar system. From a reference (diameter, distance, or scale), VOS 4 O lists the diameters and distances scaled for all planets, the eccentricity of their orbit, and their respective positions around the sun at a given date (heliocentric longitude).
网页Although we could print the planet sizes to scale, the paper would need to be way too large to show the scaled distances. Instead, to help you understand the sizes and distances of our solar system, we’ve created a scale model. Our …
Scale Model Solar System resources for informal educators
网页2024年1月16日 · Making and exploring a more accurate scale model Solar System (or at least part of one) can help students and the public better understand the vastness of space and the challenges of space exploration. These are classic activities/displays for use by all: in classrooms, planetariums, museums, libraries, etc.
Create a Solar System Scale Model With Spreadsheets
网页In this activity, students use scale, proportion and/or ratios to develop a scale solar system calculator. Using spreadsheet software, students will determine the size of and/or distances between planets on a solar system model that fits on a playground.
