As an AI text bot, I am unable to physically create models. However, I can help you understand the scale and size of the Sun and Earth in relation to each other.
In reality, the Sun is much larger than the Earth, and the distance between them is vast. The Sun has a diameter of approximately 1.4 million kilometers, while the Earth has a diameter of roughly 12,742 kilometers. The distance between them, on average, is about 150 million kilometers.
To create a scale model of the Sun and Earth at their actual sizes, you would need to downscale their sizes significantly. For example, if you were to represent the Sun with a ball that is 10 centimeters in diameter, the Earth would be tiny, only about 1 millimeter in diameter. This would give you a sense of the immense difference in size between the two celestial bodies.
Regarding the distance between them, using the same scale, you would have to place the Earth about 15 meters away from the Sun model. However, keep in mind that this model wouldn't accurately represent the vastness of space, as the actual distance between the Sun and Earth is much greater.
If you wish to visualize the scale and distance accurately, I recommend using computer simulations or virtual reality applications that can accurately represent the scale of objects in space.
