Answer:

increases, angle, 10 parsec

Explanation:

d=1/p

d: distance in parsec

p: parallax in arcseconds

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

Use the diagrams to explain what must be done to add fractions worth different denominators.
artcher [175]
To add fractions with different denominators you must convert the denominators into the lowest common factor. Aka the multiple they all go into. You then times the numerator by what you timsed the denominator by to make sure they both have the same denominator.
Example:

2/5+4/10

They both go into 10.

4/10+4/10= 8/10. 2 became 4 because 5x2=10.

I hope this helped!

You could also simplify 8/10 into 4/5z

Distance east or west of the prime meridian is measured in degrees of?
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

<u>Longitude </u>measure the distance east to west of the prime meridian that runs through greenwich england. Degrees are denoted by the greek word lamba.

Explanation:

  • Longitude gives us an angular measurement from 0 to 180 degrees. Subdivided into 60 minutes and 60 seconds. As longitude is singular at the poles.
  • Earth's tectonic plates move relative to one another in different directions at the speed of 50 to 100mm per year so the movement sin tectonic plates influence the latitudinal rotation which changes from year to year.  
  • These vertical lines define the places on the earth with their approximate sea level surfaces. The longitudinal belt is the equator at the zero degrees largest longitude on earth.
