• The Sun age is about 4,5 billion years: 4,5 ⋅10 12 years
• he Earth Mass is 4,5 ⋅10 24 kg

If you are travelling from London to Oxford, for example, and you need to know
how far it is, it would be very difficult to work this out if the map does not have a
scale.
3) A particular map shows a scale of 1:250.000 What would the map distance
(in cm) be if the actual distance is 100 km?
Length
1 mile = 1.609 km
1 yard = 0.9144 m
1 foot = 0.3048 m
1 inch = 25.4 mm
HOMEWORK
A line extends infinitely and is named by labeling two points on the line with
