overview of the solar system. · 50 points are possible Introduction It is easy to flip to the index of an astronomy textbook to discover that‚ say‚ the Sun lies 150 million kilometers away from Earth. It is far more difficult (if not impossible)‚ however‚ to picture this distance in our mind. In this exercise‚ we will learn to access the often unpalatable distances encountered in astronomy by simply scaling the huge distances to more recognizable‚ familiar numbers. So long as every distance within
