Jupiter is at a distance of 824.7 million km from the Earth. Its angular diameter is measured to be 35.72". Calculate the diameter of Jupiter.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Given `x=824.7` million km
`x=824.7xx10^(6)km`

`theta=35.72''`
`=35.72xx4.85xx10^(-6)" rad"`

Formula :
`theta=(D)/(x)`
`D=theta. X`
`=(35.72 xx 4.85 xx10^(-6))xx824.7xx10^(6)`
`=1.428xx10^(5)km`

When the planet Jupiter is at a distance of 824.7 million kilometers from the earth, its angular diameter is measured to be 35.72 of arc. Calculate the diameter of Jupier.

An amateur astronomer wishes to estimate roughly the size of the Sun using his crude telescope consisting of an objective lens of focal length 200 cm and an eyepiece of focal length 10 cm. By adjusting the distance of the eyepiece from the objective, he obtains an image of the Sun on a screen 40 cm behind the eyepiece. the diameter of the sun's image is measured to be 6.0 cm. What is his estimate of the Sun's size given that the average Earth-sun distance is 1.5 xx 10^(11) m ?
