explain the method to determine distance of the planet which is far away
Answers
Answer:
paralax method
Explanation:
Parallax is a displacement or difference in the apparent position of an object viewed along two different lines of sight, and is measured by the angle or semi-angle of inclination between those two lines.
Answer:
parallex method
Explanation:
- parallax method is used to determine distance of different planet from the earth
- To measure the distance D of far distant planet S, select two different observations (E1 and E2)
- The planet should be visible from E1 and E2 observatories simultaneously that is at the same time
- E1 and E2 are separated by distance 'b' as shown in figure above therefore E1*E2=b
- The angle between the two directions along which the planet is viewed, can be measured. It is parallax angle, which in the case is E1SE2=theta
- The planet is far away from the observers,hence
b<<D
therefore b <<1 and 'theta' is very
D.
small angle
Hence,E1 E2 can be considered as
arc of length b of circle with S as
centre and D as radius
therefore E1S=E2S=D
therefore theta= b ..(theta radian)
D
therefore D= b.
theta
Thus, the distance D of far away planet S can be determined using the parallex method
