solar system scale model

to make scale diameters / scale distance . . .

process:
if earth's 8,000 mile diameter is 1 mm, then a million miles would be ______ mm

/------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------/
this line is ~ ____ mm & it = 1 million miles
8 of these lines = 1 meter, so 1 meter = 8 million miles

planet	real diam mi / km	scale diam	earth units	real distance mi / km	scale dist mm	scale dist meters	factoid
mercury	3000 4830	_____ mm	0.4	36 -- 58	______ mm	______ meters	88 day 'year'
venus	7500 12100	_____ mm	0.67	67 -- 108	______ mm	______ meters	earth's twin size
earth	8000 12,900	1 mm	1 unit	93 -- 150	______ mm	______ meters	eiu is here
mars	4,200 6,800	______ mm	1.5	142 -- 229	______ mm	______ meters	red planet
asteroids	n / a	n / a	~ ~ 2	~200-400?	______ mm	______ meters	dist varies greatly
jupiter	88,600 142,800	______ mm	5.2	484 -- 779	______ mm	______ meters	1,331 x earth
saturn	74,600 120,100	______ mm	9.5	885 -- 1,425	______ mm	______ meters	rings
uranus	31,600 50,900	______ mm	19.2	1,781 -- 2,867	______ mm	______ meters	eiu grad finds rings
neptune	30,200 48,600	______ mm	30	2,788 -- 4,489	______ mm	______ meters	predicted to be there
pluto	2,000? 3200 ?	______ mm	39.4	3,660 5,893	______ mm	______ meters	the last planet?
