Looking At The Size Of Each Planet And Creating A Scale
To determine the how many times smaller the planet is than the sun, we divide the diameter of the sun, which is 1 380 000 km by the diameter of the planet. E.g. To find out how many times smaller Mercury is we divide 1 380 000 by 4989. Obtaining the answer 277.
To obtain the 'scaled down diameter' answers divide 1000 by the number of times smaller than the sun e.g. Divide 1000 by 277. The answer is 3.6cm rounded off.
