When the planet Jupiter is at a distance of 824.7 million kilometres from the Earth, its angular diameter is measured to be 35.72″ of arc. Calculate the diameter of Jupiter
उत्तर १
Distance of Jupiter from the Earth, D = 824.7 × 106 km = 824.7 × 109 m
Angular diameter = 35.75" = 35.72 x 4.874 x 10-6 rad
Diameter of Jupiter = d
Using the relation,
`theta = d/D`
`d = thetaD = 824.7 xx 10^9 xx 35.72 xx 4.872 xx 20^(-6)`
=143520.76 x 103 = 1.435 x 105 km
उत्तर २
Given angular diameter θ = 35.72= 35.72 x 4.85 x 10-6 rad
= 173.242 x 10-6 = 1.73 x 10-4 rad
Diameter of Jupiter D = θ x d = 1.73 x 10-4 x 824.7 x 109 m
=1426.731 x 103 = 1.43 x 108 m
