Answer:The angular seperation is \theta =3.6\times 10^{-4}

Explanation:

For two objects separated by a distance 's' and at a distance 'd' from the observer the angular separation ignoring the physical effects is given by

\theta =\frac{s}{d}

In the given question

s=60\times 10^{6}km

d=180 light years

We know that in 1 light year there are 9.5\times 10^{12}km

Using the calculated values we get

\theta =\frac{60\times 10^{6}}{9.5\times 10^{12}}\\\\\theta = 6.315\times10^{-6}radians

Since π radians equals 180 degrees thus we have

\\\\\theta =\frac{6.315\times 10^{-6}\times 180}{\pi }degrees=3.6\times 10^{-4}degrees

Why is the standard time of bangladesh half hour ahead of India?
makkiz [27]
India spreads along two distinctive time zones +UTC5:00 and UTC+6:00. In any case, India needed to proceed with a similar time all through the entire nation and hence thought of UTC+5:30 which is the normal of the above. In spite of the fact that this works decently pleasantly for the various parts of India, it doesn't function admirably for the northeastern states.
