What can the distances to nearby stars be measured by?
Light years
Is the distance between stars and earth measured in kilometres or light-years?
Light Years.
In distance in space between stars and earth measured in kilometres or light years?
in light years
What can the distances of nearby stars be measured by?
parsecs or light years
How is the distance of stars in being measured?
Light years or Parsecs
Explain why stars distances is measured in light years?
because the stars are very far away so the astronomers use light years
What units are distances to stars measured in and why?
Usually such distances are measured either in light-years, or in parsecs.
What is it called when you measure distance between stars?
usually the space is measured in light years
Why is star distances measured in light year?
because the stars are very far away so the astronomers use light years
Why do you think the distances to stars are measured in light years?
Distances to stars are mainly measured in PC (Parsecs). Light years are also used because the distances covered are so great. For example. Proxima Centauri our nearest neighbourhood star is: Light years: 4.23 Parsecs(PC): 1.3009. If we used miles then the distance would be: 24,866,054,200,000 or kilometers 40,018,035,200,000 Which one is the easiest to remember and that is your answer
The size of galaxies are measured in?
They are measured in light years. Galaxies are often 100,000 light years across or more.
Why do you still see the stars in the night sky that no longer exsiste?
They are so far away that the light they emit takes many years to get here. Distances that large are measured in light years. A light year is the distance that light travels in one mean earth year.
