Earth-Moon Lab
To find the distance from Earth's moon to Earth, i researched online what scale the distance might be. i found out that the distance was 30x the diameter of the Earth, and Since our Earth and moon were already scale to the real Earth and moon, we simply measured our Earth paper 30x away from our paper moon to show the distance in scale from Earth to its moon.
Scientists found out the distance to the moon from earth was 30x the earth's diameter because the distance to the moon is 384,400km. The earth's diameter is 12,756km, and if you divide 384,400 by 12,756, you get about 30. so technically if you lay out 30 earths, you get the distance from Earth to the moon.
Very nice!! :)
