Astronomers know that the distance between the Earth and the Sun averages 1.50 x108 km. How can astronomers use the observed ste
rodikova [14]

Answer:

The distance of stars and the earth can be averagely measured by using the knowledge of geometry to estimate the stellar parallax angle(p).

From the equation below, the stars distances can be calculated.

D = 1/p

Distance = 1/(parallax angle)

Stellar parallax can be used to determine the distance of stars from an observer, on the surface of the earth due to the motion of the observer. It is the relative or apparent angular displacement of the star, due to the displacement of the observer.

Explanation:

Parallax is the observed apparent change in the position of an object resulting from a change in the position of the observer. Specifically, in the case of astronomy it refers to the apparent displacement of a nearby star as seen from an observer on Earth.

The parallax of an object can be used to approximate the distance to an object using the formula:

D = 1/p

Where p is the parallax angle observed using geometry and D is the actual distance measured in parsecs. A parsec is defined as the distance at which an object has a parallax of 1 arcsecond. This distance is approximately 3.26 light years

We have compared the Terrestrial Planets and the Giant or Jovian Planets, but when we look at the 4 Giant Planets we can see tha
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

i. Magnetic fields

ii. All 4 planets in appearance have deeper atmospheres and darker cloud.

iii. All the 4 Jovian planets rotates very quickly, with a range of 10 to 17 hours.

Explanation:

The Jovian planets is different from terrestrial planets in so many ways. The Jovian planets includes Jupiter , Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.

The major similarities shared by all of these 4 planets includes

i. Magnetic fields: Each of this Jovian planets have a strong magnetic field and are generated by electric currents in its rapidly sniping interior. The magnetosphere which is the region at which the planet magnetic field dominates is far more stronger in Jupiter than other Jovian planets . Although the magnetic field of Saturn , Neptune and Uranus works in similar way to Jupiter  but are less stronger.

ii. All 4 planets in appearance have deeper atmospheres and darker cloud. The  uppermost clouds of Jupiter and Saturn has more of ammonia crystals .The upper cloud of Neptune is composed of methane, The cloud of  Uranus is deep.  

iii. All the 4 Jovian planets rotates very quickly, with a range of 10 to 17 hours. The rotation period of Jupiter is the shortest among the Jovian planets which is around 9 hours 55 minutes. The rotation period of Neptune and Uranus take longer time than the other 2 Jovian planets( a little above 17 hours).
