We need to create a scale model of the solar system (by shrinking the sun down to the size of a basketball or ~30cm). First, we will need to scale down actual solar system dimensions (planet diameters and average orbital radiuses) by converting our units. There are two blank spaces in the table below. We will effectively fill in the missing data in the next set of questions. Use the example below to help you.
Example: What is the scaled diameter of Mercury if the Sun is scaled to the size of a basketball (30 cm)?
The actual diameter of Mercury is 4879 km
The Sun's diameter is 1392000 km
If the Sun is to be reduced to the size of a basketball, then the conversion we need for this equation will be:
30cm1392000km
Here is how we run the conversion: 4879km×30cm1392000km=0.105cm or 0.11cm if we were to round our answer.
This means that if the sun in our model is the size of a basketball, Mercury is the size of a grain of sand. We can also see by looking at the table, that we would…

Problem 2. Planetary Body Composition: Density (Links to an external site.) of the Earth (Palen, et. al., 1st Edition, Chapter 6, problem 70)
Earth’s mean (Links to an external site.) radius is 6,378 km and its mass is 5.97 x 1024 kg.
CALCULATE Earth’s average (Links to an external site.) density. SHOW YOUR WORK. DO NOT LOOK UP THIS VALUE!
The average density of Earth’s crust is 2,600 kg/m3. What does this tell you about Earth’s interior?

First use these data and the equation above to calculate Jupiter’s mass in kilograms (kg). Enter your results in the table for each satellite. Next calculate the average Jupiter mass (Mjup, av) and enter the result in the table. Finally, calculate the percent difference (PD) using Mjup, av and the standard value for Jupiter’s mass (1.9 X 1027 kg). In the calculation of PD you can ignore 1027 because it will appear in both numerator and denominator. ________________________________________________________ Table 11.1 Calculated values for Jupiter’s Mass Satellite Djup Pday Mjup Io 2.95 1.77 Europa 4.69 3.55 Ganymede 7.50 7.15 Callisto 13.15 16.7 __________________________________________________________ Average Jupiter Mass = Percent Difference =arrow_forward
