Summary

Description
English: 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 file contains additional information, probably added from the digital camera or scanner used to create or digitize it. If the file has been modified from its original state, some details may not fully reflect the modified file.
Short title Comparison of angular diameter of some celestial bodies
Image title Comparison of angular diameter of the Sun, Moon and planets with the International Space Station and human visual acuity, compiled by CMG Lee. To get a true representation of the sizes, view the image at a distance of 103 [1 / tan(33.5/60 * pi/180)] times the width of the largest (Moon: max.) circle. For example, if this circle is 10 cm wide on your monitor, view it from 10.3 m away.
