Expert Solution

Step 1

Given :

Diameter of Earth, $d = 12800 k m$

We know, $1 A s t r o n o m i c a l U n i t (A U) = 1.496 \times 10^{8} k m$ , the distance between the Earth and the Sun.

If you were to draw the Earth on this model (where 1AU is represented as 10 cm), how many centimeters across would the dot measure.
