Question

a planet is at a distance of 8.247×10^8 kn from earth. its angular diameter is 35.72^11 of an arc. calculate the diameter of the plane​

Answer 1

Explanation:

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 Jupiter.

Answer 2

Answer:

Distance of Jupiter from the Earth, D=824.7×10

6

km

Angular diameter 35.72

rad

Diameter of Jupiter = d

Using the relation,

θ = d/ D

d=θ D = 824.7 x 10
