Detailed Solution

Distance of Jupiter from earth (d) = 8247 . million km

=824.7×106  km

Angular diameter of Juptier (θ)=35.73"

But 10=60"=(60×60)"

1"=(160×60)0=160×60×π180rad

=3.1460×60×180rad

1"=4.85×106  rad

 Angular diameter of Jupiter (θ)=(35.72×4.85×106)rad

If D is the diameter of the Jupiter then, angular diameter

(θ)=Dd

=(35.72×4.85×106)×82.47×106

=142873

=1.429×105  km
