1. The table below shows the eight planets’ diameter and distance from the Sun as compared with Earth.
| Planet | Diameter | Distance from Sun |
|---------|----------|-------------------|
| Mercury | 0.4 | 0.4 |
| Venus | 1 | 0.7 |
| Earth | 1 | 1 |
| Mars | 0.5 | 1.5 |
| Jupiter | 11 | 5 |
| Saturn | 10 | 10 |
| Uranus | 4 | 20 |
| Neptune | 4 | 30 |
2. Scale the distance of planets between each other in the Solar System by following these steps:
a. Get a strip of paper and fold it into three equal parts.
b. Label the left end ‘Sun’, the first fold ‘Saturn’, the second fold ‘Uranus’ and the right end ‘Neptune’.
c. Fold the left end to the first fold and name that new fold ‘Jupiter’.

Answer

1. The table provides the relative diameter and distance from the Sun for each planet compared to Earth. For example, Mercury has a diameter of 0.4 times that of Earth and is 0.4 times the distance from the Sun compared to Earth.

2. To scale the distance of planets in the Solar System:

  1. a. Take a strip of paper and fold it into three equal parts.
  2. b. Label the left end as ‘Sun’, the first fold as ‘Saturn’, the second fold as ‘Uranus’, and the right end as ‘Neptune’.
  3. c. Fold the left end to the first fold and label that new fold as ‘Jupiter’.
