Given the geometry shown in the picture, can you figure out where the planet is when it is moving the fastest and when it is moving the slowest?  Explain your reasoning as clearly as you can.
The Earth is about 12800 (1.28 x 104) km in diameter. If you drew the Earth to scale on your model (model is attatched here) how many centimeters across would the dot measure? Show your work here: Scaled diameter of Earth on model = _____________ cm. Based on this calculation, is your model’s scale a good one for showing the relative sizes of the planets? Thanks so much :)
