The moons distance from the earth is 360...

The moons distance from the earth is `360 , 000k m s` and its diameter subtends an angle of 31 at the eye of the observer. Find the diameter of the moon.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

We know that angle =`(arc)/(radius)`
​=`(arc)/R`
​ So
angle =`α/R`
​ = angle ×R=`(31 xx pi)/(60 xx 180) 36,0000×10^3 `meter
