Answer 6

a model is a description of anything that describes its structure, or functioning, or interrelationships. A model may be a diagram, a formula, or a descriptive writing.

yes.

Remember, reality is different from the model: how much different is what gauges the effectiveness of the model.

We use models all the time to describe reality, because the models simplify reality to an understandable chunk of information.
