Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a ten billion to one scale model, Jupiter would be 5/10,000,000,000 AU from the Sun. Using the conversion factor of 1 AU = 149.6 million km, we can multiply 5/10,000,000,000 by 149.6 million to get approximately 75 meters. Therefore, choice B is the best answer.

Jupiter Is About 5 AU from the Sun
