Planet distances and order 2006. Let’s look again at the pattern in the locations of the planets in our solar system seen in the table in Exercise 18.
a) Re-express the distances to create a model for the Distance from the sun based on the planet’s Position.
b) Based on this model, would you agree with the International Astronomical Union that Pluto is not a planet? Explain.
Exercise 18
Planet distances and years 2006. At a meeting of the International Astronomical Union (IAU) in Prague in 2006, Pluto was determined not to be a planet, but rather the largest member of the Kuiper belt of icy objects. Let’s examine some facts. Here is a table of the 9 sun-orbiting objects formerly known as planets:

a) Plot the Length of the year against the Distance from the sun. Describe the shape of your plot.
b) Re-express one or both variables to straighten the plot. Use the re-expressed data to create a model describing the length of a planet’s year based on its distance from the sun.
c) Comment on how well your model fits the data.
