Question

Tyra made the following bar graph shown to represent the relative distances of four different astronomical bodies from Earth.

If D represents Mercury, which of the following could be represented by B and C?

B could be the moon, and C could be Venus.
B could be Venus, and C could be the moon.
B could be the moon, and C could be Jupiter.
B could be Jupiter, and C could be the moon.

Answer 1

Answer:D

Step-by-step explanation:

Choice A calls B the moon which is incredibly tiny compared to Venus so this is wrong, choice B calls B Venus which is a relatively small planet and C the moon... that is a bit overkill so no. Choice C says B is the moon and C is Jupiter, Jupiter being the largest planet this is a easy no, leaving D to be the only logical and correct answer.

Answer 2

Answer D. because B. Jupiter is the farthest from Earth from those answer choices and C. is the moon because it is the closest out of those answer choices.
