Light years are used to measure distance between stars because?
. . they are a convenient unit. Another convenient unit is the parsec.
What unit have astronomers chosen to measure the distance to stars?
Light years and parsecs. A light year is approximately 9,470,000,000,000,000 meters (9.47x10^15) and a parsec is roughly 3.26 light years
Which distance would a light -year be most appropriate for measuring?
Any distance larger than an inconvenient number of billions of miles. The light-year itself is about 5,979 billion miles.

Do scientists measure a stars distance from earth in meters?
No, they are much too far away, and you would have a number too large to be usable.
Is Triangulation primarily used to measure the distance of close stars?
Answer #1:no=================Answer #2:Yes.Another answer: The primary use of triangulation may not be to measure the distance of stars, but the method which is used to measure the distance of close stars is primarily triangulation.
