# File:Comparison angular diameter.svg

## Summary

Comparison of angular diameter of the Sun, Moon and planets with the International Space Station and human visual acuity. To get a true representation of the sizes, view the image at a distance of 102.6 $\begin{bmatrix}=\tfrac{1}{\tan\big(\tfrac{33.5}{60} \times \tfrac{\pi}{180}\big)}\end{bmatrix}$ times the width of the largest (Moon: max.) circle. For example, if this circle is 10 cm wide on your monitor, view it from 10.26 m away. Planetary angular diameters are from factsheets at http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/planetary/factsheet/ and Sun/Moon ones are from http://education.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclipse/pages/faq.html .

 This is a retouched picture, which means that it has been digitally altered from its original version. Modifications: Make angular diameter comparison. The original can be viewed here: Full_Moon_as_Seen_From_Denmark.jpg. Modifications made by cmglee.
