Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

Here, Diameter= 1,400,000 km = 1.4 x 10^6 km

         Distance= 7.57 x 10^13 km

According to the formula, angular diameter= Diameter/Distance

\alpha = \frac{Diameter}{Distance}

=\frac{1.4\times 10^6}{7.57}\times 10^{-13}

=0.18\times 10^{-7}\text{ radian}

Since 1 radian=206265 arc second,

Therefore,

206265\times 0.18\times 10^{-7}

=\frac{37127.7}{10^7}

= .00371 arc second

Hence, the approximate answer is option (C) i.e. 0.0038 arc second.

Answer:

\theta = 0.0038\ arc\ sec

option c

Explanation:

given data:

Diameter of a star = 1,400,000 km

star distance from sun = 7.57\times 10^{13} km

we know that

Angle is given as

\theta = \frac{d}{r} = \frac{14\times 10^5}{7.57\times 10^{13}}

\theta = 1.849\times 10^{-8} rad

we know that

1\ arc\ second  = 4.84\times 10^{-6} rad

1 rad = \frac{1\ arc\ sec}{4.84\times 10^{-6}}

SO, \theta = \frac{1.849\times10^{-8}}{4.84\times10^{-6}}

\theta = 3.82\time 10^{-3} arc sec

\theta = 0.0038\ arc\ sec

option c

Define and explain the significance of longitude
Juli2301 [7.4K]
Latitude and longitude are imaginary lines that help us label every place on the surface of the earth. The most important line of latitude is the equator, which runs horizontally around the fattest part of the earth. The most important longitude line is the Prime Meridian which runs vertically and goes through Greenwich, England. Another important longitude line is the international date line, which goes vertically through the middle of the ocean opposite the Prime Meridian. Hope It Helps

How does cliff collapse affect the environment
Ede4ka [16]
A cliff collapse could affect the environment by exposing new rock (previously covered by the cliff) to the elements, which could result in runoff of a different nature when it rains. Additionally, the cliff would collapse upon whatever life/features existed at the base of the cliff. One of the most drastic effects could be the shaking of the earth. Cliff failures can result in earthquakes or, if the cliff collapses into a large body of water, massive tsunamis which radically impact coastal environments.
