Answer:
The distance is [tex]r_2 = 4 \ AU[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The size of Jupiter is [tex]s_2 = 143,000 \ km[/tex]
The length of the International Space Station is [tex]r_1 = 380\ km[/tex]
The size of the International Space Station is [tex]s_1 = 90 \ m =0.09 \ km[/tex]
The angular size where the same one night and this angular size is mathematically represented as
[tex]\theta = \frac{s}{r}[/tex]
Since [tex]\theta[/tex] is constant
[tex]\frac{s_1}{r_1} = \frac{s_2}{r_2}[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]\frac{0.09}{380} = \frac{143000}{r_2}[/tex]
=> [tex]r_2 = 6.04 * 10^{9} \ km[/tex]
Now we are told to convert to AU and 1 AU [tex]= 1.5 * 10^8 \ km[/tex]
So
[tex]r_2 = \frac{6.04 * 10^8}{1.5*10^{8}}[/tex]
[tex]r_2 = 4 \ AU[/tex]
