Cards in this deck (3)
- 1If the parallax angle is one arcsecond (1") the distance to the star is called a PARSECd (parsecs) = 1/p (p in arcsecs)
- 2Converting degrees to arcsecs in radians STEP 1STEP 1: Multiply by 2pi/360 to convert to radians
- 3Converting degrees to arcsecs (in radians) STEP 2STEP 2: Multiply by 1/3600 to convert to arcsecs
