To convert the actual distance from Saturn to the Sun into the scale model distance, divide the actual distance by the scale ratio. The actual distance is 1427 million km or 1,427,000,000 km. Convert this to meters by multiplying by 1,000 (since 1 km = 1,000 meters), giving 1,427,000,000,000 meters. Dividing this by the scale ratio of 200 billion (200,000,000,000) gives 7.135 meters.
