The apparent sizes of and distances between objects are described with angular measurement. This is important because the objects in the sky are often at greatly differing distances. For example, the Sun is 400 times larger than the moon.

"An angle, Lou, has to do with turning! If you take a straight line, say, and turn it about one of its ends, the amount of 'turn' from position 1 to position 2 is the 'angle' between the two lines!" ... "And if you turn the line until it gets back to where it started, ... "Now, let's divide the circumference into parts.

There are two commonly used units of measurement for angles. The more familiar unit of measurement is that of degrees. ... The other common measurement for angles is radians. For this measurement, consider the unit circle (a circle of radius 1) whose center is the vertex of the angle in question. Then the angle cuts off...

Angle measurement is a fundamental part of surveying field observations, as the combination ... Where a closed traverse consisting of compass bearings and distances has been performed around a parcel of land (see later) it is possible to compensate for the effects of local attraction and to distribute 'angular misclosure'.

Results showed that humans could rely on a sensitive measurement of angular velocity to perform this discrimination task. This was especially true when the quality of the rotational signal was high (given by the number of dots composing the annulus).

Explore how angular diameter (called alpha in the simulation and measured in degrees) changes with distance and diameter. Why do astronomers use units of arc minutes or ... 2. Use the cursor to "measure" the diameter and distance and calculate the angular diameter. Does this agree with the result reported by the simulation?
