Part B.
at
You will need a calculator.
• (Optional) You will need two balls, with diameters of approximately 3-inches and 1-inch,
to represent Earth and the Moon, respectively. (The actual ratio of Earth diameter to
Moon diameter is 3.7 to 1.)
• (Optional) You will need a ruler or tape measure.
NAME:
Scale of the Earth/Moon System
Part A.
Use your 3-inch ball to represent Earth and your 1-inch ball to represent the Moon.
Without doing any calculations, make a guess about how far apart Earth and the Moon
are on this scale.
Student
Measurement of guess
The actual average Earth-Moon distance is about 384,000 kilometers, and Earth's
diameter is about 12,800 kilometers. How many "Earth diameters" is the distance from
Earth to the Moon? Show your work.
