Moon is seen to be of `(1/2)^(@)` diameter from the earth. What must be the relative size compared to the earth?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Given that moon is seen as `((1)/(2))^(@)` diameter and earth is seen as `2^(@)` diameter.
Hence `=("Diameter of earth")/("Diameter of moon")=(1)/(2^(@))=4`
