I know the old ways of measuring radius of the Earth.
But I wan't to know what is the method that for example NASA uses nowadays to measure it ?
I want to know the best and most accurate way of measuring it.
Assume that the disk of the Milky Way has a radius of 20 kpc (20 thousand parsecs). It contains 100 billion stars, each with a radius similar to the Sun's, 6.96 x 1010 cm. What fraction of the galaxy's disk is covered by stars?
The “Opportunity” rover that just landed on Mars transmitted music back to Earth. If the distance to Earth at the time was 9x10^7 km and radio waves (a kind of “light”) travel with a speed of 3x10^8 m/s, how long did it take for the signal to reach listeners on Earth?
