In order to do this, we are going to have to make a new model on a different scale. Like so many scientific models in astronomy, this one will fib a little bit when it comes to the real scale of the solar system. As we’ve seen in Activity #3 (Making a Scale Model of the Earth-Moon System), the distance to the Moon is very large, and that would make our model rather impractical for us.
