In this model, we are going to use the scale of 1 Astronomical Unit (AU) = 1 meter (m). For your conversions, remember 1 meter = 1.094 yard or 39.38 inches. can some one help me find Scale Distance in Meters

(round to nearest 100th

Planet Name/ Distance From sun in astronmical units

1-Mercury0.387

2-Venus 0.723

3-Earth1.00

4-Mars1.524

5-Asteroid Belt 3

6-Jupiter 5.203

7-Saturn 9.539

8-Uranus 19.18

9-Neptune 30.06

10-Pluto 39.53

  1. 1 Astronomical Unit = 149 598 000 000 meters

    So take your number in AUs (0.387 for Mercury, for example) and multiply it by the number of meters in an AU (given above).  That's how many meters it is between the Sun and Mercury.


  2. The good news: no conversions are necessary.  Start with meters; stay with meters.

    I believe you are trying to figure the distances on your 1 AU = 1 meter scale.  Simple.  Look up the distances of the planets from the sun in AU's and then that will be how many meters they are, in your scale.  For example, Jupiter averages 5.2 AU from the sun, so your scale would have it 5.2 meters from the sun.

    That's pretty simple.  Were you supposed to convert them to feet or something?
