Assuming the average distance of the earth from the sun to be 149,700,000 km, and the angle subtended by the sun at the eye of a person on the earth to be 32’, find the sun’s diameter.

Solution

Let D km denote the diameter of the sun. Since the angle subtended by the sun is very small, therefore, its diameter is approximately equal to small arc of a circle with centre at the eye of the observer on the earth.

 ∴                     l = D,   r =  149,700,000 km
