How does parallax shift varies with distance?
The closer the star, the greater the parallax angle, which is why you can't measure the distance to very distant stars using the parallax method.
What is the effect of distance from an object on parallax angles?
The parallax should get smaller and harder to notice although in astronomy there are techniques used to find the parallax of stars by using the Earth's position around the sun to find the distance of the stars.
If you determinee that a certain star displayed a large parallax what couls you say about its distance?
If a certain star displayed a large parallax, i would say its distance is not wide.
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.
How long do you have to wait for a star to undergo its maximum parallax displacement?
Six months (182.6 days)

Distance to nearby stars can be determined from?
stellar parallax

What ca parallax calculate?
Distance.
What can parallax calculate?
Distance (to an object).
How is a parallax used in astronomy?
for determining distance
If a star has a parallax of 0.20 arc seconds what is the distance to that star?
I assume you mean the parallax. If the parallax is 0.1 arc-seconds, then the distance is 1 / 0.1 = 10 parsecs.I assume you mean the parallax. If the parallax is 0.1 arc-seconds, then the distance is 1 / 0.1 = 10 parsecs.I assume you mean the parallax.

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).
What effects doe lengthening the distance from the observer have on parallax?
The parallax should get smaller and harder to notice although in astronomy there are techniques used to find the parallax of stars by using the Earth's position around the sun to find the distance of the stars.
The distance to nearby stars can be measured by using?
Parallax
If a star's parallax angle is too small to measure what can you conclude about the stars distance from earth?
You can conclude that it is farther than a certain distance. How much this distance is depends, of course, on how accurately the parallax angle can be measured.
