Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -As the distances between the Solar System planets are so big, it’s almost impossible to have both accurate planet sizes and distances in one scale model.
Detailed explanation-2: -We can divide the diameter of the Earth into the diameters of all the planets, to get a relative comparison. The Sun, with a diameter of 1, 393, 000 km, is over a million times bigger than Earth and would be too big to draw on a piece of paper for this activity.
