Calculate the solid angle subtended by the periphery of an area of $1 \, cm^2$ at a point situated symmetrically at a distance of $5 \, cm$ from the area. (in $, sr$)

The principle of 'parallax' is used in the determination of distances of very distant stars. The baseline $AB$ is the line joining the Earth's two locations six months apart in its orbit around the Sun. That is,the baseline is about the diameter of the Earth's orbit $\approx 3 \times 10^{11} \; m$. However,even the nearest stars are so distant that with such a long baseline,they show parallax only of the order of $1''$ (second of arc) or so. $A$ parsec is a convenient unit of length on the astronomical scale. It is the distance of an object that will show a parallax of $1''$ (second of arc) from opposite ends of a baseline equal to the distance from the Earth to the Sun. How much is a parsec in terms of metres?
