EXERCISE 10
On January 31, 2000, I carefully measured the position of a star. On July 31, 2000, I measured it again and, using the method of parallax, found that the star was 10.0 light-years away. How much angle did I see the star move compared to its distant background? Be sure to convert light-years into parsecs, and draw a diagram describing your reasoning. |
