The Relative Distance From the Sun to Earth
Scaled images of the sun and Earth to use when exploring relative size and distance.
Use this hands-on teaching resource when exploring the relative distance between the sun and Earth.
Cut out the scaled images of the sun and Earth. Take the images outside into a large, open space.
Give the sun to one person and Earth to another. Create a distance of 65 feet between the sun and Earth. This represents the distance between the sun and Earth (according to the scaled size of the two bodies).
