What is the ratio of diameters between the planet Saturn and the Earth? (The diameter of Saturn is 116460 km, for the Earth it is 12740 km). Suppose the marble you were given in class represented the size of the Earth. What diameter (mm) marble would be required to represent the size of Saturn? A reasonable estimate for a human’s height is 165 cm. How many people set end-to-end would reach from the Earth to the Moon?  Rewrite your first answer from question #6 in scientific (exponential) notation. Voyager I is about 2.278x1010 km from the Earth. What is this distance in AU's?
