The parallax problem, particularly in relation to measuring astronomical distances, was notably addressed by the astronomer Friedrich Bessel in the early 19th century. He successfully calculated the parallax of the star 61 Cygni, providing the first reliable measurement of a star's distance from Earth. Bessel's work demonstrated the effectiveness of using parallax as a method for determining distances to celestial objects, laying the groundwork for modern astrophysics and distance measurement techniques.
What else can I help you with?
Why was parallax a problem in proving the heliocentric model?
a) A parallax was expected, according to theory.b) None was detected. The problem here is that even the closest star (apart from the Sun) are so far away that their parallax is less than one arc-second - i.e., less than 1/3600 of a degree, and therefore hard to measure.
An object that is farther away than another object will have a parallax?
Yes, objects that are farther away than others will exhibit less parallax. Parallax is the apparent change in position of an object when viewed from different perspectives. The closer an object is, the greater its parallax when viewed from different angles.
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.
How is a parallax helpful to astronomers?
Parallax is the apparent change in postion of an object when looked at from two different places. Astronomers use parallax to find how far away nearby stars are.
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.

Why should you avoid parallax?
There is no such way to avoid parallax error, you just have to be careful.. :)
Why did people believe continental drift theory when Wagner first explained it?
the scientist were jealous of him

How can you correctly phrase this sentence She explained you how to operate the machine so you not sure what is the problem?
Though she explained to you how to operate the machine, you are not sure why it will not run properly.She explained you how to operate the machine, so you not sure what problem is interfering.
