A light year is a distance (length). It's the distance that
light travels through vacuum in one year.
I just thought of a kind of an analogy:
One "man-hour" is not a measurement of people (man) or of time (hour).
It's a unit of work accomplished ... the amount of a job that one man
gets done in one hour .
Similarly, the "light-year" is not a unit of brightness (light) or of time (year).
It's a unit of distance ... the distance covered at light-speed in one year.
What else can I help you with?
The distance between celestial bodies is usually measured in a unit known as?
Lightyears. The distance between the Sun and Earth is 1.49 lightyears (149 000 000 km)
What is a measurement of distance in space called?
Lightyears
When you increase the length of your workout what are you increasing?
Length is measured in time. So, you are increasing the time of the workout.
How are the three fundamental quantities measured?
The three fundamental quantities are length, mass, and time. Length is typically measured using a ruler or tape measure, mass is measured using a scale, and time is measured using a clock or stopwatch. Each of these quantities has specific units of measurement such as meters for length, kilograms for mass, and seconds for time.
What can be measured but has no length width or thickness in math?
Time has no length, width or thickness.
What can be measured but has no length width or height?
The temperature The time Weight
Why is a solid figure measured in cubic units?
The length, width, or height of a solid figure is measured in units of length. The area of the figure's outside surfaces is measured in squared units of length. The volume of space filled by the figure is measured in cubed units of length. The mass of the figure is measured in units of mass. The weight of the object is measured in units of force. The age of the figure is measured in units of time. etc.
How much time is 125 km?
kilometers (km) are a measurement of length. Length cannot be measured by time unless there is an object moving.
What is the concept of length in physics?
Length is the distance between the positions of the ends of an object measured at the same time.
What would be the appropriate measure to record the length of a car?
Usually in america cars are measured in inches but any measurement will work as they're convertable. Just stay away from the measurements like lightyears and parsecs. Your car isn't quite THAT long. In Europe it is more common to find cars lengths measured in centimeters or meters.
What is average speed SI unit?
Since length is measured in meters, and time in seconds, it follows that speed is measured in meters/second.
What metric unit would you use to measure the length of 10 football fields?
Length is measured in meters.Length is measured in meters.Length is measured in meters.Length is measured in meters.
