A group of students in Shari's class decided to make a human-scale model of the solar system out on the school grounds. The school itself represents the Sun. In model 1 AU = 100 meters (the length of a football field). Using this table, the students figured out where each student representing a planet should stand in interrelation to the school (sun).




All BUT ONE statement describes an advantage of this model of the solar system.


A The human model shows the correct order of the planets, out from the Sun.The human model shows the correct order of the planets, out from the Sun.


B The model allows the students to calculate how long a year is on each planet.The model allows the students to calculate how long a year is on each planet.


C The students have correctly calculated a scaled representation of the distances between all parts.The students have correctly calculated a scaled representation of the distances between all parts.


D The students can infer information about the effects of gravity on each planet.
