  2. Minute and second of arc - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minute_and_second_of_arc

    The physical group size equivalent to m minutes of arc can be calculated as follows: group size = tan(⁠ m / 60 ⁠) × distance. In the example previously given, for 1 minute of arc, and substituting 3,600 inches for 100 yards, 3,600 tan(⁠ 1 / 60 ⁠) ≈ 1.047 inches. In metric units 1 MOA at 100 metres ≈ 2.908 centimetres.

  3. Parsec - Wikipedia

    Therefore, if 1 ly ≈ 9.46 × 10 15 m, Then 1 pc ≈ 3.261 563 777 ly. A corollary states that a parsec is also the distance from which a disc that is one au in diameter must be viewed for it to have an angular diameter of one arcsecond (by placing the observer at D and a disc spanning ES).

    Version 2.1 (~2005) is an edited version of v1. Artifacts are removed, but voids are not yet filled. There are 1-arcsecond data over the US. [8] Version 3 (2013), also known as SRTM Plus, is void-filled with ASTER GDEM and USGS GMTED2010. This release is available in global 1-arcsecond (30 meter) resolution since 2014.

  5. National Elevation Dataset - Wikipedia

    Depending on area location, the datasets are provided with 1/9 (about 3 meters), 1/3 (about 10 m) and 1-arcsecond (about 30 m) precision. References

  6. Angular diameter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_diameter

    an object of diameter 725.27 km at a distance of 1 astronomical unit (AU) an object of diameter 45 866 916 km at 1 light-year; an object of diameter 1 AU (149 597 871 km) at a distance of 1 parsec (pc) Thus, the angular diameter of Earth's orbit around the Sun as viewed from a distance of 1 pc is 2″, as 1 AU is the mean radius of Earth's orbit.

    From January 2008 to December 2012, if you bought shares in companies when William P. Fricks joined the board, and sold them when he left, you would have a -21.9 percent return on your investment, compared to a -2.8 percent return from the S&P 500.

  8. Parallax in astronomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallax_in_astronomy

    A parsec is the distance from the Sun to an astronomical object that has a parallax angle of one arcsecond (not to scale). The parsec (symbol: pc) is a unit of length used to measure the large distances to astronomical objects outside the Solar System, approximately equal to 3.26 light-years or 206,265 astronomical units (AU), i.e. 30.9 trillion kilometres (19.2 trillion miles).

    Many programs in the five most powerful conferences — the Atlantic Coast, Big 10, Big Twelve, Pac-12 and Southeastern — have agreed to pay out $1 million or more in additional aid each year to finance scholarships. Colleges have rarely dropped sports or moved to a lower, less-expensive, NCAA level in response to added financial pressures.
