SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -In science, a model is a representation of an idea, an object or even a process or a system that is used to describe and explain phenomena that cannot be experienced directly. Models are central to what scientists do, both in their research as well as when communicating their explanations.

Detailed explanation-2: -Process models are processes of the same nature that are classified together into a model. Thus, a process model is a description of a process at the type level. Since the process model is at the type level, a process is an instantiation of it.

Detailed explanation-3: -Scientific models are representations of objects, systems or events and are used as tools for understanding the natural world. Models use familiar objects to represent unfamiliar things. Models can help you visualize, or picture in your mind, something that is difficult to see or understand.

Detailed explanation-4: -The 4 types of scientific models are representational, descriptive, spatial and mathematical models.

Detailed explanation-5: -Compare and contrast the modeling process with the scientific method: Make observations; formulate a hypothesis; develop a testing method for the hypothesis; collect data for the test; using the data, test the hypothesis; ac-cept or reject the hypothesis.
