Document Summary
30 ft: the international space station is 370 km above the earth"s surface. If the sun were the size of a soccer ball, the earth would be best represented by: grain of sand. 110 yards away: the image above shows a picture of the sun. The dark spots located on this image are sunspots. Earth and the sunspots are about the same size: which statement do you think best represents the size comparison between the diameter of the. The sun"s diameter is larger than the distance between the moon and earth. If you were constructing a scale model of the solar system that used a sun that was the size of a basketball (approx. 100 feet (height of a 10 story building) E/m = 4 a basketball and a baseball. E m distance = 30 1 foot basketball 30 feet away from 3-inch orange. S/e = 110 soccer ball and grain of sand.
