Which of the following describes the hypothetical scenario if the dimensions of the solar system were scaled proportionally to those of an atom in Rutherford's nuclear model, where the radius of the electron's orbit is 105 times larger than the nucleus's radius?

Options

  1. AThe Earth would be closer to the Sun than its actual distance.
  2. BThe Earth would be at the same distance from the Sun as its actual distance.
  3. CThe Earth would be farther away from the Sun than its actual distance.
  4. DThe Earth's position relative to the Sun would remain unchanged.

Correct answer

C. The Earth would be farther away from the Sun than its actual distance.

Step-by-step solution

Correct Option is : (C) The Earth would be farther away from the Sun than its actual distance.
