Why can't astronomers measure the parallax of a star that is a million light years away?

Biology
1 answer:

6 0

One of the methods used widely to calculate the distance of nearby or closer objects in astronomy is Parallax. The distance of the stars are usually expressed in light years but the unit of distance is parsec or parallax second.  

                                        1 Parsec = 3.26 light years

Astronomers are not able to measure the parallax of a star that is a million light years away because the star is too far and the distance with which the start appears to move is too less to be calculated accurately.

Which of the following best describes Samuel Gompers?
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

Samuel Gompers was the head of the largest labor federation of America known as American Federation of Labor. This organization comprised of workers that were skilled artisans, weavers, carpenters etc. He also headed the labor movement after actively forming a union of workers in the cigar industry. He himself was a cigar worker and thus could relate to the plight of the people working there. Young aged children were employed in cigar factories and the wage and benefits were not even enough to support survival of one.  

Thus, Samuel arouses his voice to stand against the injustices done to the workers in cigar factory which later turned out to be mass movement.
