Answer:
The diameter of the Sun is 1.395×10⁹m.
Explanation:
We will use the following formula to solve this question,
(1)
Where,
D=diameter of the sun
d=distance of the sun from the earth
θ=angular diameter of the sun
From the questions we have,
d=150×10⁶Km=150×10⁶×10³=1.5×10¹¹m (1Km=1000m)
θ=9.3×10⁻³rad
By substituting the values of d and θ in equation (1) we get;
Hence, the diameter of the Sun is 1.395×10⁹m.
