Parallax during the earth's orbit?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on whether the distance difference between Earth and the sun at perihelion and aphelion constitutes a parallax effect. It is noted that since these points occur at opposite ends of Earth's orbit, they could create a parallax. However, the conclusion reached is that this difference is not classified as a parallax. The conversation highlights a misunderstanding of the term in relation to orbital mechanics. Ultimately, the answer to the original question is no.

Hi,

Would the difference in the distance between the Earth and the sun when the Earth is in perihelion and when it is in aphelion be considered a parallax?

Thanks,

Well ... since perihelion and aphelion occur at opposite ends of the orbit... that would create the parallax...

So I think the answer to your question is ... er ... no.
 
Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'
I am looking at pressure in liquids and I am testing my idea. The vertical tube is 100m, the contraption is filled with water. The vertical tube is very thin(maybe 1mm^2 cross section). The area of the base is ~100m^2. Will he top half be launched in the air if suddenly it cracked?- assuming its light enough. I want to test my idea that if I had a thin long ruber tube that I lifted up, then the pressure at "red lines" will be high and that the $force = pressure * area$ would be massive...
I feel it should be solvable we just need to find a perfect pattern, and there will be a general pattern since the forces acting are based on a single function, so..... you can't actually say it is unsolvable right? Cause imaging 3 bodies actually existed somwhere in this universe then nature isn't gonna wait till we predict it! And yea I have checked in many places that tiny changes cause large changes so it becomes chaos........ but still I just can't accept that it is impossible to solve...
