**Understanding the Angular Diameter of Saturn**When studying the angular diameter of Saturn as observed from Earth, it is important to use the small-angle formula. This formula relates the linear diameter of an object to its angular diameter and distance from the observer.### Angular Diameter Calculation**Formula:**\[ \text{angular diameter (in arc seconds)} = \left( \frac{\text{linear diameter}}{\text{distance}} \right) \times 2.06 \times 10^5 \]### Questions:1. **Closest Approach:** - Calculate the angular diameter of Saturn (in arc seconds) when Earth and Saturn are closest together. - Enter the value in the provided box. \[ \_\_\_\_\_ \text{ arc seconds} \]2. **Farthest Distance:** - Calculate the angular diameter of Saturn (in arc seconds) when Earth and Saturn are farthest apart. - Enter the value in the provided box. \[ \_\_\_\_\_ \text{ arc seconds} \] Use these calculations to understand how the apparent size of Saturn changes based on its distance from Earth.
