Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Why do scientists use scale to study the Solar System?
A
The solar system is too large to study without using scale
B
The solar system is too small to study without using scale
C
Scientists don’t need to use scale because we have satelites
D
All of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer. Explanation: Scientists use models to investigate objects or processes that happen too slowly, too quickly, or on too small of a scale to observe directly. They also use models to explore phenomena that are too vast, too complex, or too dangerous to study firsthand.

Detailed explanation-2: -As some of these objects are believed to be minimally altered from their state in the young solar nebula from which the planets formed, they may provide insight into planet Earth and the formation and evolution of the solar system.

Detailed explanation-3: -Because of the great distances between planets, and the planets relatively small sizes compared to those distances, it’s practically impossible to create a visual representation on a screen or the page of a book that realistically represents the sizes of the planets and the distance between them.

Detailed explanation-4: -A scale model uses the same measurement ratios as the real object does. The first model will compare the distances between the planets and the Sun. The second model will compare the sizes of the planets.
