To make the most accurate solar system model, you should...
show the order of the planets from first to last.
make the model 3D.
put planets in orbit with correct order, sizes, and distances from Sun.
show how all the planets orbit the Sun at the same speeds.
8
What is a good strength of this solar system model below?
It shows the rings on the planets.
It shows the orbit of the planets.
It shows the composition of the planets.
It shows good relative distance between the planets.
9
It is hard to make an accurate solar system model because...
All of the answers are true.
planets would need to be "microscopic" when compared to the Sun.
it's easier to show planets in a line rather than in orbit around the Sun.
distances between planets are difficult to show on a model.
10
Which sentence is true?

16
Below is a model of the Solar System that you could make with food. What is a strength of this model?
It shows good relative size of the planets to each other.
It shows the attributes of each planet.
It shows good relative distance between the planets.
It shows the composition of the planets.
17
In which picture, A or B, would the stars appear brighter if we looked at them from Earth? Why?
The stars in B would be brighter because they look brighter.
The stars in A would be brighter because they are closer to Earth.
The stars in A would be brighter because they are probably bigger.
The stars in B would be brighter because they are probably hotter.
18

Outer Planet
Inner Planet
Planet
Star
19
What is a limitation of this solar system model?
