Why or why not? O Yes. That is why the outer planets are shown in a separate box. O No. The distances in the solar system are too great to produce a model accurate to distance that still has inner planets visible. O No. The outer planet distances are drawn to scale, but the inner planets need to be drawn farther from the sun to be visible. 1 4arrow_forward
