Question

a teacher asked students to make a scaled model of the planets to represent the similarities and differences in size. the students collect data and make the model.
planet mercury venus earth mars jupiter saturn uranus neptune
diameter (km) 4879 12104 12756 6792 142984 120536 51118 49528

how do the planets compare in size? complete the model by moving all the labels into the boxes.
earth jupiter mars neptune mercury saturn venus uranus

Explanation:

Step1: Sort planets by diameter

Sort the planets from smallest to largest diameter using the provided data: Mercury (4879 km), Mars (6792 km), Venus (12104 km), Earth (12756 km), Uranus (51118 km), Neptune (49528 km), Saturn (120536 km), Jupiter (142984 km).

Step2: Match with models

Match the planets to the models based on their relative sizes. The smallest model corresponds to the planet with the smallest diameter and so on.

Answer:

From left - to - right (smallest to largest model): Mercury, Mars, Venus, Earth, Uranus, Neptune, Saturn, Jupiter
