Why angular diameter of the sun and the moon in the sky same? |
|
Answer» SOLUTION :ANGULAR diameter of any object in the SKY can be measured as : `alpha=(d)/(D)` Here d is the diameter of object and D is the distance object and the earth. In case of the moon and sun, by coincidence, the RATIO d : D is same for both and HENCE their angular diameter is same in the sky. |
