The radius of a typical atom is approximately 1 × 10-10 m, and the radius of its nucleus is approximately 1 × 10-14 m. A science museum builds a giant scale model of this atom, representing the outer boundary of the atom (the electron cloud) with a spherical dome of radius 80 m.
Which of the following would best represent the radius of the nucleus on this same scale?
A grain of sand of radius 0.08 mm0.08\text{ mm}0.08 mm
A small insect of radius 0.8 mm0.8\text{ mm}0.8 mm
A small berry of radius 8 mm8\text{ mm}8 mm
A tennis ball of radius 8 cm8\text{ cm}8 cm
