Answer» n:What is the SOLID angle SUBTENDED by the moon at any point of the earth GIVEN the diameter of the earth given of the moon is 3474KM and its distance from the earth .Solution:Given:Diameter of the moon = 3474kmDistance from the earth = To find:Solid angle subtended by the moon.How to solve:Diameter of the moon,D = 3474kmRadius of the moon, R = = = 1737 kmArea = πr²= (3.14) (1737)² = The distance from earth = Squaring this value:r² = = Now, the solid angle in steradians isΩ = Ans = |
