Question: You discover two solar systems. The first one has a planet ( PA ) ?orbiting around a star ( SA ) , ?while the second

You discover two solar systems. The first one has a planet (PA) ?orbiting around a star (SA), ?while the second one also has a planet (PB) ?orbiting around a different star (SB). ?The second system is farther away from you than the first one (see the diagram below).Print out the file called ?Angular Size Diagrams? ?on the course site on canvas and mark the position of PB on the diagrams as instructed.

NOTE: you may want to draw additional lines on the plots to help you figure out where to put PB.The additional lines are not required, but they may be helpful

(a) ?On the first plot, mark the position of PB so that it has same physical distance from SB as PA has from SA.

(b) ?On the second plot, mark the position of PB so that it has the same angular distance from SB as PA has from SA

(a) (b) you you PA SA PA SA SB

(a) (b) you you PA SA PA SA SB
