These questions consist of two statements each, printed as Assertion and Reason. While
answering these questions, you are required to choose any one of the following four responses.
Assertion: Parallax method can be used for measuring distances of heavenly bodies more than 100 light years away.
Reason: For a distance more than 100 light years, parallax angle is reduced to such an extent that it cannot be measured accurately.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsD
Due to parallax error the maximum distance of a star we can measure is limited to 100 light
years. Parallax error increases due to increase in distance of star.
