Question 13 • RMA FL-2001310-Earth/Space Science Semester 2

Marc plans to create a model of the solar system for his school’s science fair. He knows the solar system includes many celestial bodies.Which statement identifies a possible limitation of this model?

Answer
A
The model will be supported with scientific evidence.
B
The model will include all planets of the solar system.
C
The model will be used to predict planet distances and sizes.
D
The model will oversimplify what the solar system looks like.

Explanation

A model is a simplified representation of a real system, so it may leave out details or make the solar system look less complex than it really is. That is a possible limitation. Being supported by evidence, including all the planets, or helping predict distances and sizes are useful features rather than limitations.
