Calculate the angle of 1″(second of arc or arc second) in radians. Use `360^0`=2π rad, 10=60′ and 1′ = 60
Calculate the length of the arc of a circle of radius 31.0 cm which subtends an angle of `π/6` at the
When the planet Jupiter is at a distance of 824.7 million kilometers from the Earth, its angular diameter is measured to be 35.72” of arc. Calculate the diameter of
When a planet X is at a distance of 824.7 million kilometers from earth its angular diameter is measured to be `35.72^(11)` of arc. Calculate the diameter of
The principle of ‘parallax’ in section 2.3.1 is used in the determination of distances of very distant stars. The baseline AB is the line joining the Earth’s two locations six months apart in its orbit around the Sun. That is, the baseline is about the diameter of the Earth’s orbit `≈ 3 xx 10^(11)`m. However, even the nearest stars are so distant that with such a long baseline, they show parallax only of the order of 1” (second) of arc or so. A parsec is a convenient unit of length on the astronomical scale. It is the distance of an
