What are the two words that when put together derive the term parsec?
A parsec is a distance corresponding to a parallax of one arcsecond. The two words that form "parsec" are parallax and arcsecond.
Two stars having annual parallax of 0.1 and 0.02 arc seconds respectively.If they appear to have same magnitude. estimate the actual distance of these stars from us?
The 'parsec' (3.26 light years) is the distance at which an object exhibits an annual parallax of 1 arcsecond. Although the whole idea is based in the trigonometric tangent of angles, we can assume a perfectly linear relationship for such small angles. -- 0.1 arcsecond ==> 3.26/0.1 = 32.6 light years -- 0.02 arcsecond ==> 3.26/0.02 = 163 light years Their magnitude has nothing to do with the question you asked. It may be relevant to the second part of the question from which you copied only the first part. Thanks for including all of the given data, though.
What is the diameter of a star if its angular diameter is 0.044 arcsecond and its distance is 427 light-years?
The diameter of the star would be 197.07 times the suns diameter, 1.83 astronomical units, about 170 million miles or 270 million kilometres.
The distance to other stars beyond the sun are measured in?
The parsec ("parallax of one arcsecond", symbol pc) is a unit of length, equal to just under 31 trillion kilometres (about 19 trillion miles), or about 3.26 light-years. The parsec is defined as the length of the adjacent side of an imaginary right triangle in space. The two dimensions that form this triangle are the parallax angle (defined as 1 arcsecond) and the opposite side (which is defined as 1 astronomical unit (AU), the distance from the Earth to the Sun). Given these two measurements, along with the rules of trigonometry, the length of the adjacent side (the parsec) can be found.See link for further information.
What is solar angle and Beam spreading?
solar angle is the angle at which a ray of light hits the earth. Beam spreading is how energy is distributed on earth because of solar angle
How do you draw a parsec?
It is defined as a right trangle that is 1 AU on the shortside, with the far angle being 1 arcsecond (1/3600 degrees, or .0002777... degrees), so the close angle is 89.9997222... degrees.
How is a parsec defined?
A Parsec is 3.26 Light years. It is defined as a right trangle that is 1 AU on the shortside, with the far angle being 1 arcsecond (1/3600 degrees, or .0002777... degrees), so the close angle is 89.9997222... degrees.
How are light years and astronomical units different?
1 Astronomical Unit (AU) is the average distance between the earth and the sun. It is approximately 149,598,000 km. 1 light year (ly) is the distance light travels in one year. It is approximately 9,460,730,472,580 km The other commonly used astronomical measurement is the parsec. 1 parsec (pc) is the distance at which 1 arcsecond measures 1 AU. It is approximately 3.26156 ly or 30856740079724 km. 1 arcsecond is 1/60 of a arcminute.1 arcsecond is 1/60 of a degree.1 degree is 1/360 of a circle.
How do you measure long distances in space?
In Light-years(how far light travels in 1 Earth year), AU(Astronomical Unit=distance between the Earth and the Sun), Parsecs( the distance from the Sun to an astronomical object which has a parallax angle of one arcsecond), or simply miles.

37 kilometers equals how many centimeters per sec?
I'm not sure how the two can be converted. Kilometer is length and cm/sec is speed (length/time). cm/arcsec would describe centimeters along the circumference of a circle (arcsec is an angle measurement = 1/3600 of one degree) 37 kilometers=17.9381062 centimeters per arcsecond
Is the vertical angle to angle 1 angle 6?
Which is angle 1 and which is 6 and where are all the others?
Can you make a triangle with 1 obtuse angle 1 acute angle and 1 right angle?
No.
Does a triangle have 1 right angle?
Not all triangles have 1 right angle but they can have a maximum of 1 right angle.
How many acute angles does a acute angle have?
1 acute angle = 1 acute angle
If angle 1 plus angle 5 equals 100 find the measure of angle 3?
if angle 1 puls angle 5 ewuals 100 find the measure of angle 3
What does the 1 angle add up to on a right angle?
the inside angle is 90 degrees and the outside angle is 270 degrees. No bend has just 1 angle. Also you cannot add up 1 number.
