Observations of line and continuum strengths were made in six regions in the Orion Nebula. From the observations, electron temperatures, electron densities, and chemical abundances were derived. A model for the Orion Nebula was computed that agreed with the optical and radio observations of the Nebula. Scattering and absorption by dust were added to the model and the predicted scattered continuum was compared to the observed continuum.
