Answer: Trigonometric or Stellar Parallax

Explanation:

Whenever a star is too far away to measure its parallax, astronomers do match its color and spectrum to one of the standard candles and determine its intrinsic brightness.

Comparing this to its apparent brightness, they can get a good measure of its distance by applying the 1/r^2 rule.

Astronomers estimate the distance of nearby objects in space by using a method called stellar parallax, or trigonometric parallax. They measure a star's apparent movement against the background of more distant stars as Earth revolves around the sun.

Explanation:

The coordinate sketch for the system is shown in the attached file below. Also, in the cartesian coordinate system, since the height is less than the length and width, we did neglect the height. Thus, we eliminate the height and converted it to a two-dimension.

Use the concept of fields to describe how forces can act from a distance.

Leni [432]

The strength of a field force changes with distance from the sourceof the field-stronger closer to the source, weaker farther away from the source. The source can be either a mass, a charged particle, or a magnetic pole.
