Question

look at the model showing the movement of earth, the moon, and the sun. like all models, it shows some characteristics and leaves out others. the table below lists several characteristics of the solar system. decide whether each characteristic is shown in the model or is a limitation of the model. characteristic of the solar system: earth orbits the sun. the suns diameter is over 100 times larger than earths. earth is more than 350 times as far from the sun as it is from the moon. the moon completes about 12 orbits around earth each time earth orbits the sun. earth rotates.

Explanation:

1. The model clearly shows Earth orbiting the Sun, so this is shown in the model.
2. The model does not show the relative sizes (diameter - ratio) of the Sun and Earth, so this is a limitation.
3. The model does not show the relative distances between Earth - Sun and Earth - Moon, so this is a limitation.
4. The model does not indicate the number of Moon orbits around Earth per Earth orbit around the Sun, so this is a limitation.
5. The model shows the arrow indicating Earth's rotation, so this is shown in the model.

Answer:

1. Shown in the model
2. Limitation of the model
3. Limitation of the model
4. Limitation of the model
5. Shown in the model
