A scientific model of something is a representation that you think will act, more or less, like the real thing. The advantage is that you can, for example, have a solar flare irradiate the Earth without actually killing anyone. a model gives you info on potential outcomes and recovery strategies. Economists use a similar process (modelling) to determine tine impact of things like increasing or decreasing interest rates.Scientific models exist for global climate change, dispersion of pollutants and disease spreads.
