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

Biology

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.

Explain how the energy transfer to the wall and air would be different for ball 1
Darya [45]

Answer:

When a bouncing ball falls, it initially gains speed or kinetic energy—the energy of motion. When it reaches Earth, it collides head-on with an incredibly massive object that is, from your perspective, at rest. The ball slows down, deforms temporarily and shoots back up. The air in the ball acts like a spring—it gets compressed and expands again. During the collision, some of the ball's energy is converted into heat. As a consequence, the ball shoots up with less energy than it had when it reached Earth. Our planet, being so massive, does not move as a result of the collision.
