Today, you will use the part of the solar system you chose yesterday and create a new personal blog post. If you chose a part of the solar system not mentioned on the sites given, assume you are on Mars, instead.

Now, answer the following questions:
a) If the solar system was the length of the hallway between my room and guidance, and the Sun was in my room, where would Earth be located? What about your solar system feature? Why do you believe this?
b) If you were three years old on your planet, how old would you be on Earth? Why the difference?
c) If you weighed 200 lbs on earth, how much would you weigh on your planet? Which planet in the solar system would make you the heaviest? Why does this matter?
