What can parallax be used to determine about a star?
Parallax is a method used to find the distances of stars.
What is most useful in determining the position of stars?
parallax
What can distances to nearby stars determined by?
Stellar parallax
Method to measure the distance to nearby stars directly?
For nearby stars, the parallax method gives the most accurate measure of distances.For nearby stars, the parallax method gives the most accurate measure of distances.For nearby stars, the parallax method gives the most accurate measure of distances.For nearby stars, the parallax method gives the most accurate measure of distances.
Why do we measure the movement of stars?
Parallax is the apparent change in position of an object when you look at it from different angles. Astronomers often us parallax to measure distances to nearby stars. This method can be used to determine stars' distances up to 400 light-years from Earth.
How do astronomers measure distances to stars including the parallax method?
They use the banana method
The distances to nearby stars can be measured by using . a. absolute magnitude c. color b. temperature d. parallax?
preallax
What techniques and instruments do scientists use to measure stars?
They use refracting and reflecting telescopes technique is they use the parallax methods
What are the distances to stars measured in?
Astronomers typically measure distances in parsecs. One parsec is the distance of a hypothetical star having a parallax of 1 second of arc; it's about 3.2 light years.
Why can't I use Cepheid variables to measure distances to very distant galaxies?
For close-by stars, parallax can be used to gauge distances. But for the most remote stars observable, the distance is too great to use parallax. Those distances are determined using a variety of methods, depending on the type of star, the approximate distance scale, and other circumstances. Such methods would require a much greater theoretical understanding of the stars themselves as well as the structure of the cosmos at large scales.
The apparent shift in the position of nearby stars when compared to distant stars is?
Doug Fany answer: Parallax
Distance to nearby stars can be determined from?
stellar parallax
