The Earth is about 12800 (1.28 x 104) km in diameter. If you drew the Earth to scale on your model (model is attatched here) how many centimeters across would the dot measure? Show your work here:Scaled diameter of Earth on model = _____________ cm. Based on this calculation, is your model’s scale a good one for showing the relative sizes of the planets?Thanks so much :) ObjectDistance from Sunkilometers A.
