While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:
  • In Göttingen, Germany, there is a true-to-scale model solar system called the Planetenweg Göttingen.
  • The scale model Earth is 0.65 cm in diameter.
  • The scale model Sun is 70 cm in diameter.
  • The actual Sun is roughly 1.39 million km in diameter.
  • The actual Earth is roughly 12,742 km in diameter.
  • The Sun is over 100 times bigger than Earth.
The student wants to emphasize how much bigger the Sun is than Earth. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?
A
The actual Earth is far bigger than the model Earth, which is only 0.65 cm in diameter.
B
The Planetenweg Göttingen in Göttingen, Germany, is true to scale.
C
At 1.39 million km in diameter, the Sun is over 100 times bigger than Earth.
D
At the Planetenweg Göttingen in Göttingen, Germany, the model Sun is 70 cm in diameter.
