The Milky Way Galaxy is about 25 million times larger in diameter than the planetary region of our solar system. If you represent out solar system with a poker chip (diameter about 1.5 inches), how big a disk would you need to represent out galaxy? _________ miles?


Answer: Required diameter of the disk to represent milky way galaxy = 1.5 x 25 x 106 = 37.5 x 106 inch

now 1 inch = 1.57828 x 10-5 mile

=> required diameter = 37.5 x 106 x 1.57828 x 10-5 mile = 591.855 miles
