Answer:

As the distance to an object decreases, the observed parallax _Increases_ . A parsec is defined as the distance to an object when the _Angle_ is equal to one arcsecond. When the parallax is 0.1 arcseconds , the distance is _10 parsecs_.

Explanation:

A Parallax in astronomy is the apparent displacement of an object because of a change in the observer's point of view. This is use to measure distances to nearby stars. As the distance to a star increases, the its parallax decreases and vice-versa.

Parallax formula can be express as:

d=1/p

Where:

p = parallax angle in arcseconds

d = distance in Parsecs

Parallax Second = Parsec (pc)

A star with a parallax of 1 arcsecond has a distance of 1 Parsec.

Given:

p = 0.1 arcseconds

from:

d=1/p

d=1/0.1 arcseconds

d=10 parsecs

How do the achievements of the Mayans compare to that of the
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

The Mayans were at about the same level of development as the Greeks and Romans.

Explanation:

The Romans and Greeks are the most famous of the European civilizations of antiquity, and the reason for that is that they were more advanced than the rest of the European civilizations, at least in the majority of things. On the other side of the world, in Mesoamerica, the Maya existed much earlier than the Greeks and Romans, in the same period as these two, and outlived them. They have developed a civilization that was more advanced than the surrounding civilizations, and it was actually on about the same level of development as the Greeks and Romans.

If we take the accomplishments of the Maya on one side and the Greeks and Romans on another side, we will see that in most things they have about the same level of development, the Maya being more advanced in some aspects, while the Greeks and Romans in others, so they balance each other out. While at their peaks these civilizations seem to have reached about the same heights, it has to be mentioned that the Maya had a big portion of their achievements in a period where the Greeks and Romans were not existing as such, thus they developed certain things centuries and even millenniums earlier than their European counterparts.
