What is scaled orbit radius?
What is scaled orbit radius?
On this 1-inch tape, my Sun was the size of the tape – 1 inch in diameter. It all started out well. Mercury was only about 3-1/2 feet from the sun and Earth was almost 9 feet from the Sun….Solar System Model.

Which planet has the largest orbital radius?
1. Introduction
| Planet | Semimajor Axis of Orbit (km) | Mean Radius (km) |
|---|---|---|
| Mercury | 57,909,175 | 2,439.7 |
| Venus | 108,208,930 | 6,051.8 |

What are the orbits of the planets?
The orbits of the planets are ellipses with the Sun at one focus, though all except Mercury are very nearly circular. The orbits of the planets are all more or less in the same plane (called the ecliptic and defined by the plane of the Earth’s orbit).
Which planet has the shortest orbital radius?
Mercury
The orbital period is only dependent of the planet’s distance from the sun. Mercury is the smallest planet and it also has the shortest orbital period. Earth and Venus are about the same size but Venus has a shorter orbital period as it is closer to the sun.
How far are the planets from Earth?
The distance between Venus and Earth varies depending on where the two planets are in their orbits….What is the distance from Venus to earth?
| Average Distance from Earth to | kilometers and miles |
|---|---|
| Sun | 149.6 million km (93 million miles) |
| Mercury | 155 million km |
| Venus | 170 million km |
| Mars | 253 million km |
What is the radius of the other planets in our Solar System?
Earth – 3,959mi (6,371km) radius; Mars – 2,106mi (3,390km) radius; about half the size of Earth; Jupiter – 43,441mi (69,911km) radius; 11x Earth’s size; Saturn – 36,184mi (58,232km) radius; 9x larger than Earth; Uranus – 15,759mi (25,362km) radius; 4x Earth’s size; Neptune – 15,299mi (24,622km) radius; only slightly smaller than Uranus
How do I calculate the scaled planet diameters and planet-Sun distances?
Calculate the scaled planet diameters and planet-sun distances for a solar system model. Enter scale or diameter or distance, select to show table and/or map below, select options, then press Calculate. Examples: Scale 1 : 100000000 or Sun Diameter = 10 cm or Neptune Distance from Sun = 1000 ft. Model scale: 1 : Solar System Model Table.
How do you find the orbital radius of the Earth?
Label the sun, Earth’s orbit, and Earth’s orbital radius in your diagram. Use a ruler to measure Earth’s orbital radius in centimeters, which in real life is equivalent to one astronomical unit (1AU = Earth’s orbital radius).
How to calculate the scale value for each Solar System object?
Calculate the scale value for each Solar System object using a scale factor of 10 centimeters per astronomical unit (AU). 1 AU is equal to about 150 million kilometers (93 million miles)!
