    The angular size of stars - prac astronomy

    I understand how to use stefans law now thanks i take it just use the parallax method to find the distance, so this limits stefans law to find the angular size of close'ish' stars. other factors taking inot account. hmmm you could estimate spectral changes through doppler shifting using that...
