To find the planet that will have a diameter approximately ten times larger than Mercury on a scale model, we need to compare the sizes of the planets.
The diameter of Mercury is approximately 4,879 kilometers.
To find a planet with a diameter ten times larger than Mercury, we multiply 4,879 by 10, which gives us 48,790 kilometers.
Among the given options, none of the planets have a diameter close to 48,790 kilometers.
However, the planet with the largest diameter out of the options given is Jupiter. The diameter of Jupiter is approximately 139,820 kilometers, which is larger than Mercury but not ten times larger.
Therefore, none of the given options have a diameter that is approximately ten times larger than Mercury on a scale model.
