(a)

 

As the distance of star increases, the parallex angle decreases, and great degree of accuracy is required for its measurement. Keeping in view the practical limitation in measuring the parallex angle, the maximum limitation in measuring the parallex angle, the maximum distance of a star we can measure is limited to 100 light year.
