Discribe the advantage and limitation of the three tyeps of models?

Answer 1

Do you need to describe specific models or generic types?

One group is as

Conceptual (=thought experiments)
Mathematical (includes computer models)
Physical (e.g. a mechanical model of the solar system like an orrery)

Physicist Georg William de Tunzelmann distingushed in 1910 three "models“ of the universe:

the mechanical,

the molecular and

the mental.

Another grouping is as:

iconic
analogue
symbolic.
