With your table, calculate and record your planets Scaled Diameter (SD) and Scaled Distance (SD) on the white sheet. 2. With your table, calculate and record your planets Scale Factor (SF) on your yellow sheet. 3. Calculate your planets Scaled Distance (SD) on your green sheet. 4. Walk to the other tables and completely fill in all three sheets. 5. Answer the following questions: Using your completed sheets and thinking back to your model solar systems from the lab last week 1. How does Earth compare with other planets in size and distance from the Sun? 2. How did your model differ from the actual solar system 3. How was your model similar to the actual solar system 4. What is the relationship between the diameter of the planets and their positions from the Sun?
