By applying the correspondent change of scale, we will see that Earth should be placed 214.8m away from the scale sun.

How far the Earth should be placed?

The real radius of the Sun is:

R = 696,340 km

And the radius of the scale Sun is 1m, then we have the relation:

1m = 696,340 km

1 = (1m/696,340 km)

Now, the real distance between the Sun and Earth is:

d = 149,600,000 km

If we apply the change of scale we have above, we will get:

d =  149,600,000 km*(1m/696,340 km) = 214.8m

So the Earth should be placed at 214.8m of the ball that represents the sun.
