Answer:
The∠ASB called parallax angle = θ = θ1 + θ2, Now the distance d << b. θ should be measured in radians. To measure the distance d of a faraway planet, the moon or the near star (the sun) S1 by the parallax method, we observe it from two diametrically opposite positions on the earth.
How can we find the distance of a nearby star by Parallax method?
The distnace can be measured by measuring the parallax angle θ. It is subtended by the distant astronomical object at the two locations on the earth separated distance b. Thus, θ=db where d be the measuring distance.
