Great activity idea for logarithmic scales

Creating a graphical representation would be a great exercise for your students to understand the logarithmic scale of distances in the universe. As a text-based AI, I can provide a textual representation of how the distances might be plotted on a logarithmic scale.

Here's an example of how a logarithmic scale might represent the distances in a graph:

Sun (0 meters)
Mercury (5.8e10 meters)
Venus (1.1e Read more of this blog post »
