When using parallax, astronomers calculate distance from the sun and not earth to improve on the accuracy of their measurement, since parallax angle decreases as star distance increases.

<h3>What is parallax distance?</h3>

Parallax enables astronomers to measure the distances of far away stars by using trigonometry.

<h3>Why does astronomers measure parallax distance from sun?</h3>

As the distance of star increases, the parallax angle decreases, and great degree of accuracy is required for its measurement.

So taking a refence from the earth instead of the sun will impact the accuracy of their measurement.

Thus, when using parallax, astronomers calculate distance from the sun and not earth to improve on the accuracy of their measurement, since parallax angle decreases as star distance increases.

Give examples of plants that can reproduce by vegetative reproduction.​
marishachu [46]

Answer:

Some examples of vegetative propagation are farmers creating repeated crops of apples, corn, mangoes or avocados through asexual plant reproduction rather than planting seeds. Vegetative propagation can be accomplished from side-shoots, slips, stems and sections of tubers, bulbs or rhizomes.

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

a) according to Faraday's law , b) creating a faster movement, placing more turns on coil

Explanation:

a) The voltage is induced in the coil by the relative movement between it and the magnet, therefore according to Faraday's law

           E = - d (B A) / dt

In this case, the magnet is involved, so the value of the magnetic field varies with time, since the number of lines that pass through the loop changes with movement.

This voltage creates a current that charges the battery

b) There are several ways to increase the voltage

* creating a faster movement, can be done by the user

* placing more turns on the coil, must be done by the manufacturer
