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.
Vega would have a greater parallax due to its closer distance to Earth compared to Arcturus. Parallax is the apparent shift in position of an object when viewed from different perspectives, and the nearer an object is to the observer, the larger its parallax.
The distance from Earth to Sirius is the reciprocal of its parallax angle, so it would be 1 / 0.377 = 2.654 parsecs away.
The observation of stellar parallaxes is evidence against a geocentric view of the cosmos because parallax shifts in the positions of stars as observed from Earth would not occur if the Earth were at the center of the universe. The fact that we can observe parallax in stars from different positions on Earth supports the heliocentric model, where Earth revolves around the Sun and is not at the center of the cosmos.
Yes, if Earth gained mass, its gravity would increase, which would make your weight greater because you would experience a stronger gravitational force pulling you towards the center of the Earth.
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.

Parallax would be easier to measure if the Earth were farther from the sun. This way, there will be a wider angle to the stars using the parallax method.

A parallax is hard to measure if it is very small - and this happens when the corresponding object is very far away.
It would be greater.

Arcturus is a red supergiant with a radius 25 times larger than our Sun. If our Sun was replaced by Arcturus it's outer edges would reach beyond Mars. See related link for a pictorial representation.

At farther distances, the parallax becomes too small to measure accurately. At a distance of 1 parsec, a star would have a parallax of 1 second (1/3600 of a degree). (The closest star, Toliman, is a little farther than that.) At a distance of 100 parsecs, the parallax is only 1/100 of a second.

Because that is the entire idea of the parallax method - get measurements from two points, as far away as possible.It would be possible to do measurements a month apart, for example, or a week apart; but that would give a smaller parallax angle, and thus a larger error.Because that is the entire idea of the parallax method - get measurements from two points, as far away as possible.It would be possible to do measurements a month apart, for example, or a week apart; but that would give a smaller parallax angle, and thus a larger error.Because that is the entire idea of the parallax method - get measurements from two points, as far away as possible.It would be possible to do measurements a month apart, for example, or a week apart; but that would give a smaller parallax angle, and thus a larger error.Because that is the entire idea of the parallax method - get measurements from two points, as far away as possible.It would be possible to do measurements a month apart, for example, or a week apart; but that would give a smaller parallax angle, and thus a larger error.
