as Chomolungma). The surveyors measured the
distance between two points at sea level and then

4 Astronomers use the parallax effect to measure
distances to nearby stars. To measure the distance
fom the Earth toa star A, they would use a diagram
such as the one shown.
S represents the poston ofthe Sun, and E, and
E, epresentthe postions ofthe Earth, asi orbits
around the Sun, approximately six months apart (say
the Earths poston in June and December]. E,AS
(or EAS} is called the parallax angle (P).Itis half
AE, which can be measured from the shift ofthe
star A against the background ofmore distant stars.
Why do you thnk tha astronomers measure the
paallaxangle EAS ratherthan AE,S or AES?
