Answer:   linear diameter

The linear diameter of moon is 3754 km.

Explanation:

Moon is the only satellite of earth. It doesn’t produce light on its own but reflects the light of sun and appears lighted up. The diameter of moon can be found out using parallax method.

In parallax method moon is observed through a telescope from a point on earth the angle θ between the diameter of the moon and this point on earth is measured. This angle is mathematically equal to the ratio of diameter D of moon and the shortest distance S between moon and earth.

Thus diameter of moon can be calculated by finding the product of the distance between moon and earth and the angle.

relative dating involves things like higher layers are most recent than rocks lower in the sequence. this can be extended to the known sequence of fossils. rocks containing rabbit fossils are later than those containing dinosaur fossils.  

absolute dating methods mainly use radioactive elements that have known rates of decay and produce recognizable products. for example potassium 40 decays to produce argon. once a rock has solidified the argon is trapped. by measuring the argon and potassium0 you can get an accurate number for the age.  

some other methods are good for archaeological ages. dendrochronology involves recognizing the sequence of tree rings. the orientation of magnetized particles in baked clay can be used to date a fire.
