∙ 12y agoParallax is the apparent shift in position of an object when viewed from different angles or positions. This phenomenon is often used in astronomy to measure distances to nearby stars by observing their slight change in position relative to more distant stars as the Earth moves around the Sun.
called stellar parallax, and it is used to measure the distance to nearby stars. This apparent shift occurs due to the Earth's orbit around the Sun, which causes our viewpoint to change over time. By measuring the angle of the shift, astronomers can calculate the distance to the star.
Nearby stars appear to change their position against the distant background in an annual cycle, because of the Earth's changing position 'across' its orbit. This apparent shift is called the star's "parallax".
Parallax is the apparent shift in position of an object when viewed from two different locations. It is used to measure distances to nearby stars and celestial objects by observing their change in position against more distant stars.
parallax :)
The apparent change in position of an object with respect to a distant background is called parallax. It is often used in astronomy to measure distances to stars and other celestial objects.
The apparent change in position of an object when viewed from two different places is known as parallax. It is used in astronomy to measure distances to stars or celestial objects by observing how their positions shift against the background as viewed from different points on Earth's orbit. The greater the shift in position, the closer the object is to Earth.

The parallax method is usually used in this case. Earth's movement in its orbit cause an apparent shift in position in such a star.
Parallax refers to the apparent displacement of an object when viewed from different perspectives. In astronomy, parallax is used to measure the distance to nearby stars by observing their shift in position relative to more distant background stars as the Earth orbits the Sun. It allows astronomers to triangulate the distance to a star by measuring its apparent change in position.
An apparent change in position of a star due to the movement of the Earth in it's orbit. The closer the star is there is a larger shift and the further the star is there is a smaller shift.
The answer would be C) Parallax.The Absolute Magnitude of a star is the star's actual brightness, and is therefore not dependent upon the position of the observer.Red Shift and Blue Shift are consequences of a stars speed relative to the observer. Again this is independent of the stars proximity to the observer.Parallax, is the apparent change in position based upon the motion of the observer, and is directly proportional to the proximity of the object. Just as, when driving on the road distant trees or buildings don't appear to zoom past you as quickly as a pedestrian on the side of the road, so it is with stars. The closer they are the larger the parallax is as the Earth orbits the Sun, for example.
