Today, you will scale the solar system and post that scale on your blog.
Pick a diameter for the Sun.....someplace between 1 mm and 1 meter. Then, use the activity at http://www.exploratorium.edu/ronh/solar_system/
to figure out the distance and size scale.
If the downtown four corners in the city of Manchester is where the Sun is parked, what object represents each one of the planets, and where is it located.
You will need to post this information on your blog. When you get done, comment on the accuracy of the scale found in the diagram above (2-4 sentences).
