To determine if the models' distances are proportional to the actual dimensions of the solar system, we can compare the ratios of the distances in the model to the actual distances.
Model distance from Sun to Earth: 7 inches
Actual distance from Sun to Earth: 91.549 million miles
Model distance from Sun to Neptune: 19 inches
Actual distance from Sun to Neptune: 2780.5 million miles
Let's calculate the ratios:
Ratio for Earth:
Model distance / Actual distance = 7 inches / 91.549 million miles ≈ 7 / 91549000
Ratio for Neptune:
Model distance / Actual distance = 19 inches / 2780.5 million miles ≈ 19 / 2780500000
Now, let's compare the two ratios:
Ratio for Earth: 7 / 91549000 ≈ 7.64e-8
Ratio for Neptune: 19 / 2780500000 ≈ 6.83e-9
Since the two ratios are not approximately equal, it indicates that the model distances are not proportional to the actual dimensions of the solar system.
In Amaro the distance from the sun to Earth is seven inches and the distance from the from the sun to Neptune is 19 inches if the actual distance from the sun to Earth is ninety one point five hundred forty nine million miles and the actual distance from the sun to Neptune is 2780.5 million miles are the models distance proportional to the actual dimension of the solar system
