Astrophysics Homework 1 ( from past paper)

Mark Scheme

Knowing that the angle at T is 10 deg or 1/2 T is 5 deg (1)
Use of Tan with any angle and using 10m as base (1)
114 m (1)

(i) (annual) parallax (1)
(ii) diameter of Earth's orbit around the sun (or on a diagram) (1)
(iii) (direction or background of more) distant stars (1)

Most stars are too distant (1)

Parallax is too small (to measure) (1) [not difficult]


This homework is now closed
