$(d)$ An atom has a nearly continuous mass distribution in a .......... but has a highly non-uniform mass distribution in .......... (Thomson’s model/ Rutherford’s model.)

$(e)$ The positively charged part of the atom possesses most of the mass in .......... (Rutherford’s model/both the models.)

In the Rutherford's nuclear model of the atom, the nucleus (radius about $10^{-15} \;m$ ) is analogous to the sun about which the electron move in orbit (radius $\approx 10^{-10} \;m$ ) like the earth orbits around the sun. If the dimensions of the solar system had the same proportions as those of the atom, would the earth be closer to or farther away from the sun than actually it is? The radius of earth's orbit is about $1.5 \times 10^{11} \;m.$ The radius of sun is taken as $7 \times 10^{8}\;m$
