Question

If a certain star displayed a small parallax, what could you say about the star’s distance from earth?

Answer 1

Distance varies inversely as the parallax. So, smaller parallax means greater distance.is propo

Explanation:

If the parallax is from angular measurements from the same location,

once now and next half year later, the star's distance is

approximately

2/(parallax in radian) AU.

So, it is inversely proportional to the parallax angle.

And so, smaller parallax means greater distance
