KIDS TRIVIA

Detailed explanation-1: -Parallax is the observed displacement of an object caused by the change of the observer’s point of view. In astronomy, it is an irreplaceable tool for calculating distances of far away stars.

Detailed explanation-2: -Parallax is the apparent shift of an object’s position relative to more distant background objects caused by a change in the observer’s position. In other words, parallax is a perspective effect of geometry.

Detailed explanation-3: -parallax, in astronomy, the difference in direction of a celestial object as seen by an observer from two widely separated points. The measurement of parallax is used directly to find the distance of the body from Earth (geocentric parallax) and from the Sun (heliocentric parallax).

Detailed explanation-4: -Parallax is the shift in position of an object caused by your own motion. For example, if you look at some nearby object and move your head a little from side to side, the object looks like it is moving back and forth.
