Use this paragraph: In a scale model of the solar system, the sun is placed at the center and the planets are shown orbiting in circles around it. Mars is 1.5 AU away from the sun and in the model, it appears at 30 cm from it which means that 1 AU = 20 cm. Likewise, Neptune is 30 AU away from the sun.

What is the maximum possible distance that can be drawn between Mars and Neptune in the scale model? Hint: Two planets are as far apart as possible when they are on directly opposite sides of the sun from each other. Draw a picture with the planets as far apart as possible.

A human-operated spaceship reaches the moon in 3 days. The moon is about 386,400 km from Earth. Mars, our closest planetary neighbor, is, at its closest, about 140 times farther away from us than the moon if Mars stays in place. Assuming a very simple model of the solar system, about how long would it take that same spaceship to reach Mars?(1 point)

To find the maximum possible distance that can be drawn between Mars and Neptune in the scale model, we first need to determine the distance between them in the model. Since Mars is 1.5 AU away from the sun (which corresponds to 30 cm in the model) and Neptune is 30 AU away from the sun, we can calculate the distance between Mars and Neptune by subtracting the distance of Mars from the distance of Neptune:

30 cm - 1.5 cm = 28.5 cm

Therefore, the maximum possible distance that can be drawn between Mars and Neptune in the scale model is 28.5 cm.

If the moon is 386,400 km away from Earth and Mars is about 140 times farther away than the moon, then the distance to Mars would be:

386,400 km * 140 = 54,096,000 km

Given that the spaceship takes 3 days to reach the moon, we can approximate the time it would take to reach Mars by using the same ratio:

3 days * (54,096,000 km / 386,400 km) = 421.43 days

Rounded to the nearest whole number, it would take approximately 421 days for the spaceship to reach Mars. Therefore, the closest approximation from the given options is about 1 year.
