Choose "Pluto" from the first drop down, and "Distance from the Sun" in the second drop down.

Solar System Model Inputs
Calculate the scaled planet diameters and planet-sun distances for a solar system model.
Enter scale or diameter or distance, select to show table and/or map below, select options, then press Calculate.
Examples:    Scale 1 : 100000000   or   Sun Diameter = 10 cm   or   Neptune Distance from Sun = 1000 ft.

Please enter scale or diameter or distance from sun.

Type the number of miles you want to walk on your ACTUAL WALK in this text field.

You may want to choose US units. This is up to you.

Now you will see that all the distances for your model have been calculated.

Click the "Solar System Model Map" checkbox.

You will need to enter the latitude and longitude of your beginning point. See the next step for how to find that.

Navigate to <https://www.latlong.net/>

Enter the address of where you would like to begin and click "Find."\
Copy and paste the given latitude and longitude into the Solar System Calculator tool.

This is where you paste the latitude and longitude.

Now you will see the orbital distances of each planet and belt on a map for your walk.

You can zoom in and out. You can adjust the center location by changing your latitude and longitude.

Once you are satisfied, mark landmarks for yourself at each orbit, or print a couple copies of this map. Then go for a walk! Take a photo at each location when you get there!

Once you have all your photos from your walk, put them in a document, label which one is which solar system object, and submit that to the assignment!
