What is used to measure distance between stars?
Light year or astronomical units
What do you use to measure the distance between stars?
you use light years, and other units
What is the units used to measure the distance of stars to the earth?
light years
Compare the distance between two stars and the distance between two planets?
The distance between stars are much greater than distances between objects in our solar system
What is a cosmic distance?
A distance in space, between stars etc.
Find the distance between (-4 2) and (-7 -6). in units?
The distance between the points of (4, 3) and (0, 3) is 4 units
Which unit is most appropiate for measuring distances within a group of stars?
The units currently used for distance between stars are either light-years, or parsecs. If the stars are very close together (as in a binary system), AU might also be used.
What is the distance between star?
The distance between stars can be anything from light minutes to billions of light years.
Are the stars measured in light years?
Stars are not measured in light years. The distance between them is.
How can you find the distance between two numbers on a number line?
Just subtract the lowest number from the greatest number. For example, the distance between 3 and 8, is 8 - 3 = 5 units, the distance between -2 and 3, is 3 - (-2) = 3 + 2 = 5 units, the distance between -4 and -2, is -2 - (-4) = -2 + 4 = 2 units.
What is the distance between nuclei in a hydrogen (h2)?
69 units
What is the unit that astronomers use to measure the differences between stars and other galaxies?
They do not use units: they use the fact that stars are not galaxies. For example, you don't use units to measure the difference between children and countries.
