To determine which two planets should be the closest in diameter on the scale model, we can look at their diameters and see which two are most similar.
Based on the provided diameters:
- Mercury: 4,800 km
- Venus: 12,100 km
- Earth: 12,800 km
- Mars: 6,700 km
- Jupiter: 143,000 km
- Saturn: 120,000 km
- Uranus: 51,100 km
- Neptune: 50,000 km
Comparing the planets:
- Venus (12,100 km) and Earth (12,800 km) are the closest in size.
- Mars (6,700 km) and Jupiter (143,000 km) are not close.
- Mercury (4,800 km) and Neptune (50,000 km) are not close.
- Uranus (51,100 km) and Saturn (120,000 km) are also not close.
The closest in diameter are **Earth and Venus**. Hence, the correct response is:
**Earth and Venus**.
