Simplified Trigonometric Method for Distance Measurements

<p>This research paper introduces a simplified trigonometric method for measuring the distance to celestial objects using angular measurements and basic geometry. The methodology involves capturing the angular size of an object from two distinct positions along a known baseline, utilizing trigonometric relationships to derive a precise formula. The approach was validated by calculating the Moon's distance from Earth using angular measurements, yielding a result closely matching the Moon's average distance. This accessible method has potential applications for amateur astronomers, educators, and anyone interested in celestial distance measurement without relying on advanced equipment.</p>
