   Actual Size of Sun: 1,391,000 km (864,000 mi) AU (“Astronomical Unit”) is the average distance between the Sun and Earth: 150 million km (93 million mi) A little more than 100 Sun diameters will span the distance of one AU.

   Download the Scale Size and Distance Spreadsheet (XLSX or CSV) or the Solar System Sizes and Distances reference guide if calculating manually. Decide on the diameter of Earth in your scale model. Keep in mind that a 1-cm Earth means the scale distance from the Sun to Neptune is about two miles.

   1. How did the solar system scale we worked out and your original drawing match? How did they differ? 2. Why do you think the outer planets are so much farther apart than the inner planets? 3. Is there a correlation between planet size and how far it is from other planets?

   How do I scale a planet?

   • Choose the size (diameter) you want Earth to be in your model (for example 1 cm). For each planet, multiply the size you chose for Earth by the multiplier value on the chart. The multiplier is a planet’s size compared with Earth. This will give you the scale size of each planet. Download the Scale Size Calculator spreadsheet ( XLSX or CSV ).

   How do I calculate the diameter of a planet in centimeters?

   • Create a formula in your spreadsheet that will calculate the diameter of (distance across) each planet in centimeters. The formula should multiply the size you chose for Earth by the multiplier value for each planet. The multiplier is a planet’s size compared with Earth.

   How do I calculate Earth size?

   • Choose the size (diameter) you want Earth to be in your model (for example 10 cm). Create a formula in your spreadsheet that will calculate the diameter of (distance across) each planet in centimeters. The formula should multiply the size you chose for Earth by the multiplier value for each planet.

   How do you calculate the scale diameter of other planets?

   • To calculate the scale diameter of the other planets, you need to rearrange proportional ratios and write equations similar to what you did in the previous step using the scale Earth diameter in your equation.
