If the nucleus of an atom is the size of a point of a pencil...?

Question

If the nucleus of an atom is the size of a point of a pencil, how far will the electron be (if the electron is on s1)? What if the nucleus is the size of a marble?

I'm fascinated by these wonderful creations by God. Even if these are the smallest bits of matter, the nucleus and the electron have great distances between them (when enlarged) just as the distances between the celestial objects of the universe.

Answer 1

The other answer is right about the number, wrong about the units.  Most scientists agree that it would be about a football field away at any given point in time if the nucleus were the size of a pen point.

"Here was a picture of the atom nobody had imagined--a vast, nearly empty space with a tiny charged sphere in the center. If the nucleus were the size of a marble, then the atom would be nearly one kilometer (0.6 mile), across. Somewhere in that space were even tinier electrons. In a few strokes of the pen, Rutherford had transformed the solid world around us into empty space." -- http://www.davidparker.com/janine/nucleu...

Answer 2

About 100 ft away according to something I read a long time ago. That would make the orbit of the electron about the height of a 20 story building.
