What is parallax method? |
|
Answer» Parallax is a METHOD of measuring distance to an object. ... If the distance between the observation POSITIONS is known, and the angle between them can be measured, it is a matter of simple geometry to calculate the distance to the object.Explanation:formula of parallax method:Parallax Formula: p = parallax angle in arcseconds. d = distance in "PARSECS" Writing our parallax formula in this way ALLOWS us to DEFINE a new "natural" unit for distances in astronomy: the Parallax-Second or Parsec. |
