5. [2pt]
For another star that is twice as far away, what will be true about
its parallax?
A) The parallax angle for the more distant star will be cut in half
to 0.070 arc-seconds.
B) The parallax angle for the more distant star will be quadrupled
to 0.56 arc-seconds.
C) The parallax angle of the more distant star will be the
same.
D) The parallax angle for the more distant star will be cut by a
factor of four, to 0.035 arc-seconds.
E) The parallax angle for the more distant star will be doubled to
0.28 arc-seconds.

The parallax of the star Sirius, as viewed from Earth, is about 0.379 arc seconds. How many parsecs away is it? (Hint: D=1/p)
What is the distance to a star if the parallax is 0.022 arc-seconds? Give your answer to 1 decimal place Note: Answer was 45.5, but I just don't get it
The star Rasalhague has a parallax angle of 0.0.0698''. What is its distance in parsecs?
Action item 2: Two stars have a parallax of 0.5 arc seconds. Compare the distances to the stars from the Sun given that the parallax of one star was measured from the Earth's orbit and that the parallax for the other was measured from Jupiter's orbit. - Draw a tidy, labeled diagram (sketch) to go with your answer - Data: Jupiter has an orbital radius of 5.2 AU Parallax (a demonic parasitic entity from the beginning of time): Ranked as...
