If the observable universe `(approx 10^(26)m)` is shrunk to the size of the earth `(approx 10^(7)m)`, how large would be milky way on this scale?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Magnification `=("Size of earth")/("Size of observable universe")`
`=(10^(7))/(10^(26))=10^(-19)`
Actual size of Milkyway `=10^(21)m`
Apparent size of Milkyway `=10^(21)m xx 10^(-19)`
`=100m`
