1 degree = 60 minutes

1 minute = 60 seconds

Thus, a degree has 3600 seconds.

1 degree = 60 minutes

1 minute = 60 seconds

Thus, a degree has 3600 seconds.

1 degree = 60 minutes

1 minute = 60 seconds

Thus, a degree has 3600 seconds.

1 degree = 60 minutes

1 minute = 60 seconds

Thus, a degree has 3600 seconds.

How many kilometers are equivalent to one arcsecond?

Oh, that's such a wonderful question! You know, measuring in astronomy can be like finding a happy little tree in a vast forest. Just like adding the perfect touch of paint to a beautiful landscape, one arcsecond is approximately equivalent to just under oward.l29010545 kilometers on this helpful little globe of ours. Enjoy the subtle intricacies of our universe's measurements!


What are the two words that when put together derive the term parsec?

A parsec is a distance corresponding to a parallax of one arcsecond. The two words that form "parsec" are parallax and arcsecond.


What is 0.01 arcsecond?

0.01 arc second is one hundredth of an arc-second.An arc-second is one sixtieth of an arc-minute. (There are about 30 arc-seconds across the visible diameter of the Sun or Moon).An arc-minute is one sixtieth of a degree.A degree is one three hundred and sixtieth of a circle.So a hundredth of an arc-second is a good resolution for a fine telescope.If you have an image of the Moon where the moon is 3000 pixels wide (probably twice the width of your computer screen) then 0.01 arc-second is one pixel.


Two stars having annual parallax of 0.1 and 0.02 arc seconds respectively.If they appear to have same magnitude. estimate the actual distance of these stars from us?

The 'parsec' (3.26 light years) is the distance at which an object exhibits an annual parallax of 1 arcsecond. Although the whole idea is based in the trigonometric tangent of angles, we can assume a perfectly linear relationship for such small angles. -- 0.1 arcsecond ==> 3.26/0.1 = 32.6 light years -- 0.02 arcsecond ==> 3.26/0.02 = 163 light years Their magnitude has nothing to do with the question you asked. It may be relevant to the second part of the question from which you copied only the first part. Thanks for including all of the given data, though.


What is angle period of satellite?

The angle of the satellite period, depends on where the satellite is positioned. When you figure out where the satellite is you position the angle to be where and what you need.

How do you draw a parsec?

It is defined as a right trangle that is 1 AU on the shortside, with the far angle being 1 arcsecond (1/3600 degrees, or .0002777... degrees), so the close angle is 89.9997222... degrees.


How is a parsec defined?

A parsec is a unit of distance used in astronomy equal to about 3.26 light-years, which is the distance at which one astronomical unit subtends an angle of one second of arc. It is derived from the terms "parallax" and "second."


How are light years and astronomical units different?

1 Astronomical Unit (AU) is the average distance between the earth and the sun. It is approximately 149,598,000 km. 1 light year (ly) is the distance light travels in one year. It is approximately 9,460,730,472,580 km The other commonly used astronomical measurement is the parsec. 1 parsec (pc) is the distance at which 1 arcsecond measures 1 AU. It is approximately 3.26156 ly or 30856740079724 km. 1 arcsecond is 1/60 of a arcminute.1 arcsecond is 1/60 of a degree.1 degree is 1/360 of a circle.

How do you measure long distances in space?

In Light-years(how far light travels in 1 Earth year), AU(Astronomical Unit=distance between the Earth and the Sun), Parsecs( the distance from the Sun to an astronomical object which has a parallax angle of one arcsecond), or simply miles.

How does an arcsecond measure distance?

An arcsecond is a unit of angular measurement, not distance. It is equal to 1/60th of an arcminute and 1/3600th of a degree. Arcseconds are commonly used in astronomy to specify the size or separation of celestial objects in the sky.

Can you make a triangle with 1 obtuse angle 1 acute angle and 1 right angle?

No.


What two words are the abridgement for a parsec?

parallax second When we observe a star from opposite ends of the Earth's orbit, if there is a parallax difference of 1 arc second, that star is 1 parsec away.


37 kilometers equals how many centimeters per sec?

I'm not sure how the two can be converted. Kilometer is length and cm/sec is speed (length/time). cm/arcsec would describe centimeters along the circumference of a circle (arcsec is an angle measurement = 1/3600 of one degree) 37 kilometers=17.9381062 centimeters per arcsecond


Does a triangle have 1 right angle?

Not all triangles have 1 right angle but they can have a maximum of 1 right angle.
