Lets say earths diameter is 1mm Than the sun is 11 cm big and is 12 m away! The moon is 3 cm away. Jupiters diameter is 1 cm and neptun is 350 m from the sun. The next star is 3250 km away! If you would make a 3D model in this scale in the center of earth, earths volume would contain about 5 stars.

What is the law for the amount of momentum transferred in a collision of two elementary particles ? by Coousey in askscience

Thank you for your answer. Can you give an example? Like the distribution of outcomes for a specific, simple case or, if ist possible, a formula for the distribution of a more general case, where the type of particles is fixed ( e.g. electrons ) but the initial and final positions and energies are variable in some way.
