Since the sun is at very large distance,
\mathrm{p=\infty}
\mathrm{\Rightarrow \quad \frac{1}{\infty}+\frac{1}{q}=\frac{1}{f}}
\mathrm{\Rightarrow \quad \mathrm{g}=\mathrm{f}}
If the diameter of the image be


\mathrm{\frac{d / 2}{q}=\alpha \quad \Rightarrow \quad d=(2 \alpha) q}
\mathrm{Putting \, 2 \alpha=\theta \: and \, q=f}
\mathrm{we\: obtain \: \quad D=f \theta}
