Imagine you shrink the solar system so much that the distance from earth to the sun becomes 10 cm. 1 day equals 19 hours on earth.

We are including pluto.
Solar system planets relative distances. The mnemonic mvemjsunp is helpful in remembering the order. Build background about the astronomical unit au. You will make a model of the solar system.
Today my focus is to show the distances between them. Only slightly smaller than uranus this illustration shows the approximate sizes of the planets relative to each other. Identify the names of each planet and the order of their locations in the solar system.
As an example the distance between the planet mercury and earth can range from 77 million km at the closest point to as far as 222 million km at the farthest. Review the number of the planets. There is a huge amount of different in the distances between the planets depending on their position on their orbit path.
Figures 1 and 3 illustrate locations of various objects in the solar system and their distances from the sun. Talk about what a solar system model that demonstrates the relative average distances between the planets and the sun and the relative sizes of the planets would look like. Explain to students that an astronomical unit or au is a simplified number used to describe a planet s distance from the sun.
Our solar system s largest planet is an average distance of 484 million miles 778 million kilometers from the sun. In the previous post i illustrated the relative sizes of the solar system objects. Outward from the sun the planets are mercury venus earth mars jupiter saturn uranus and neptune followed by the dwarf planet pluto.
Jupiter s diameter is about equal to the thickness of a u s quarter in our shrunken solar system. 1 orbit around the sun takes 165 earth years. Astronomers measure distances in the solar system in astronomical units or au.
Neptune 15 299mi 24 622km radius. When you shrink the solar system this much all the planets shrink in size so they become too small to see. One astronomical unit is the.
It is a unit of length equal to the average distance from earth to sun approximately 149 600 000 kilometers 92 957 000 miles. Jupiter is the largest of the planets spanning nearly 1 75 millimeters in diameter on our football field scale. You will add labels so you can remember which planet goes where.
Has a diameter of 30 775 miles making it the third largest planet in our solar system. 1 au 93 million miles the distance from the sun to the earth. Identify which object represents the sun using the materials list as a guide.
The distances are expressed in astronomical units abbreviated as au.
