Let assume;
Diameter of Moon = D.
E = Point on the Earth's surface from where we have to see moon by using telescope.
With help of telescope, determine ∠AEB,
Assume; ∠AEB = Ф
S = Shortest distance between moon and Earth.
Tangent for ∆ABE,
∴ tanФ =
if Ф → 0 then, tanФ ≈ Ф
Hence, Ф =
AB = ФS
Hence, D = parallax angle × S
