    8750000:1

    Explanation:

    A scale factor is a number that multiplies the quantity. In the equation y = kx, k is the scale factor for x. Here, k is known as the constant of proportionality of y to x.

    Diameter of the Carrier Dome = 0.16 km

    Diameter of the Sun = 1.4 million km = 1400000 km

    Scale factor for this model = Diameter of the Sun: Diameter of the Carrier Dome = 1400000 : 0.16 = 8750000:1
