(a) The earth-moon distance is about 60 earth radius. What will be the diameter of the earth (approximately in degrees) as seen from the moon?

(b) Moon is seen to be of (½)° diameter from the earth. What must be the relative size compared to the earth?

(c) From parallax measurement, the sun is found to be at a distance of about 400 times the earth-moon distance. Estimate the ratio of sun-earth diameters.

This is a short answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar

(a)

 l=RE; r= 60RE

θ = R E 60 R E = 1 60 r a d = 1 60 * 180 π d e g r e e = 3 π 1 o

Hence angle subtend is 2 o

(b) But in 2nd case it is given that moon is (½)° and earth is 2o so it become 4 times.

d i a m e t e r o f e a r t h d i a m e t e r o f m o o n = 2 / π 1 / 2 π = 4

(c) To measure parallax sun is about 400 times the earth moon distance hence r s u n r m o o n = 400

To finding ratio of

Dsunrsun=Dsunrmoon

DsunDmoon=400

DearthDmoon=4
