Measuring the Heavens: Parallax
... The distance L from the sun to earth is the radius of the earth’s orbit. The parallax angle is measured by sighting the star at different times of the year. We want to find the distance D to the star. A complete circle is 360°. The angle is a fraction of that. Likewise, the sun-earth distance L ...
