Question

Star A is farther than star B which star will have large parallax angle

Answer 1

ANSWER :

Before solving this question, it is important to define parallax angle. The angle which exists between the Earth in a time in a year and the Earth after six months which is calculated from a star which is at a short distance away from the Earth is known as the angle of parallax.

The question clearly tells us that Star A is farther and Star B is closer.

We know that the parallax angle is not directly proportional to distance. It mean that if the distance is less, there will be large parallax angle.

So, Star B will have large parallax.
