Expert Answer
Angle subtended by arc, θ = arc length / radius of arc = ( / r )
arc length = diameter of earth = 2 × 6400 km = 12800 km
radius of arc r = distance between earth and moon = 3.84 × 108 m
Angular diameter of earth from moon in radian = ( 12800 × 1000 ) / ( 3.84 × 108 ) = 3.333 × 10-2 rad
Angular diameter of earth from moon in degree = [ 3.333 × 10-2 × ( 180/π) ] o
If Angular diameter of earth is experessed as ( σ π )o , then σ = [ 3.333 × 10-2 × ( 180/π2) ] = 0.608
