Claim: Creating a larger solar system model, where 1 AU = 1 yard, can be both challenging and beneficial.
Evidence: One challenge is finding enough space to set up the model, as the planets would be far apart. For example, if the Earth is 1 yard from the Sun, then Jupiter could be over 5 yards away! This means you need a big outdoor area. An advantage is that with a larger model, it’s easier to see how big the distances are in space, which can help people understand just how far apart the planets really are.
Reasoning: So, while it might be hard to find a place to build the model, making it bigger helps everyone visualize and learn about our solar system much better!
