Measure (in pixels) Earth

1) For simple processing softwares :

Calculate scale factor Z to be able to resize the Earth to place it in the Sun image ...

Z = DSKm * RTPix / DTKm / RSPix * 100

With :

DSKm = 1 390 000 (Sun diameter Km)

DTKm = 12 756 (Earth diameter Km)

RSPix = Sun diameter measured (in pixels)

RTPix = Earth diameter measured (in pixels)

Now open Earth picture in your favorite processing software and resize it to Z %

(see result in second image of this page ...)

2) Comment from Pierre Vasey :

" "This can then be simplified further if using an image processor such as

Photoshop which can resize images in pixels. The physical ratio is

fixed, so the required Earth image size in pixels becomes the value

given by DTKm*RSpix/DSKm. So actually RSpix*12756/1390000"

TO DO LIST :

Menus / Better corono colors and transparency / Earth easy integration & positioning in Sun image
