Homework Statement

the solar parallax is 8.8 arc seconds.. calculate its distance from earth?

Homework Equations

distance(in parsec)=1/parallax in arc sec

atempts to solution

i know this formula but it provides me weird ans like
distance=0.11pc while using this formula...wheres the err?

If the parallax is 8.8 arc seconds, .11pc distance sounds reasonable to me. What's your problem with that answer?

but its the solar parallax. & pc distance from Earth to sun should be 4.8x10^-6pc.
isn't it?
