George uses crayons to draw a model of the solar system on a sheet of paper. What is a limitation of this model?

Question

A.
The model cannot show that the planets differ in size.
B.
George cannot place the planets in the correct order from the Sun.
C.
George cannot move the planets around the Sun.
D.
The model cannot show that the planets differ in color.

Answer 1

The best answer to the question about the limitation of George's model of the solar system is:

A. The model cannot show that the planets differ in size.

While the other options might present potential difficulties, the fact that a drawing cannot adequately represent the differences in the sizes of the planets stands out as a significant limitation in a 2D representation.
