Question 1%0D%0AA)In a model for Ms. Fowler’s science class, the diameter of the Earth is 12,756 km and the model is 0.9 mm. The diameter of Jupiter is 142,980 km or 10.4 mm.

For Earth:
Model diameter: 0.9 mm
Actual diameter: 12,756 km
Ratio: 0.9 mm / 12,756 km
For Jupiter:
Model diameter: 10.4 mm
Actual diameter: 142,980 km
Ratio: 10.4 mm / 142,980 km
Since the ratios are equal for both planets, we can conclude that the model's diameters are proportional to the actual dimensions of the solar system.
