What is a name for the apparent movement of a star used to measure its distance from earth?
parallax
What is the apparent movement of a star used to measure its distance from earth?
This is called PARALLAX.
Distance to nearby stars can be determined from?
stellar parallax
The apparent shift in the position of nearby stars when compared to distant stars is?
Doug Fany answer: Parallax
Which star would have a greater parallax the earth or the arcturus?
Earth isn't a star and doesn't (can't) have a parallax, becuse we use Earth's orbit as a baseline to measure parallax.
What is parallax bar?
A parallax bar or stereometer is a simple measuring device that is used to determine the height of objects in photographs.
What is parallax bar used for?
Parallax bars are used in photogrammetry and remote sensing. with the use of the principles of parallax and refraction, parallax bars are used to measure the heights of buildings and other features.
What is a parallax and what is it used for?
parallax is a planet
What can parallax be used to determine about a star?
Parallax is a method used to find the distances of stars.
When was parallax first used?
In 1672
Is parallax a star?
The parallax refers to the apparent change in the star's position, due to Earth's movement around the Sun. This parallax can be used to measure the distance to nearby stars (the closer the star, the larger will its parallax be).
When can parallax not be used?
Paralax can not be used during an eclise
Why was Galileo so interested in parallax?
He was on to a brilliant idea about how parallax can be used to estimate some astronomical distances.
How is a parallax used in astronomy?
for determining distance
How is parallax used in computer programming?
Parallax is used in computer programming by using a computer and a USB connection. They have been popular in robotics because of their easiness to program.
Why can't the parallax effect be used to measure distances to other galaxies?
The parallax angle of such distant objects is way too small to be measured. In general, the farther away an object, the smaller is its parallax angle.
Do scientists use stellar parallax to determine a star's temperature?
Not if they have the faintest clue what they're doing. Parallax is used to measure distance, not temperature.
