Measuring the angular solar diameter using two pinholes
... 共2兲 corresponds to the boundary between the Fresnel diffraction regime and the Fraunhofer diffraction regime. The ability of the observer to measure the diameter of the moving image also determines the accuracy of the measurement. The rotation of the Earth causes the image to move at about 15 arcsec ...
