4
About that far apart, that is the Earth and the Moon to scale.
5
Taking the same concept but for the solar system, every single picture of the solar system that we ever encounter is not to scale.
6
If you put the orbits to scale on a piece of paper, the planets become microscopic and you won't be able to see them.

14
We have 36 hours to measure the distances, trace out the orbits, and set up a time -lapse shot from up on top of a nearby mountain.

To create a scale model with an earth only as big as this marble,
16
you need seven miles of empty space so that's why we're here why did you guys come I don't have a job
17
at this scale the Sun is a meter and a half so about about that big around

23
Hopefully you'll be able to tell just how big they really are.
24
Onward to the outer planets,
25
Jupiter, Saturn,
26

33
Cue the dramatic sunrise music.
34
So if we've made our model correctly,
35
your perspective from where Earth is on the model will match your perspective from standing on the real Earth.
36
So if you look back at the sun, you will see that the model sun and the real sun are the exact same size.
37
And that's how you can tell that the proportions are correct.
38

39
billions of people who have actually seen the full circle of the Earth with their own eyes.

46

47
Oh, my God, look at that picture over there.
48
Wow, that's pretty.
49

什麼是跟讀法？
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
