When measuring long distances in customary units other than miles what metric unit of measure would you use for the same distance?
Kilometers
Are earth-based stations that can transmit microwave signals directly to each other over distances of up to about 30 miles?
Microwave stations. It can't go more than 30 miles.
Why do we need to use light years as a way of measuring cosmic distances?
A light year is a much greater distance than almost any other unit in use. It is equivalent to about 9 trillion kilometers or 6 trillion miles. With a unit such as a light year we can discuss the vast distances of space without having to resort to absurdly large numbers.
How do the distances between inner planets compare to the distances between the outer planets?
The distances between the inner planets is smaller than the distances between the outer planets.
How far is the Moon from Mars?
Earth is about 93 million miles from the Sun. Mars is about 139.5 miles from the Sun. The distance between Earth and Mars depends on where each is in its orbit. At their nearest, they would be about 46.5 million miles; at their farthest, about 232.5 million. The moons of Mars are much closer to Mars itself than these distances from Mars to Earth of the Sun. So since we are rounding off distances to the half-million miles, for all practical purposes Mars and its moons are the same distance from Earth.
When measuring long distances in customary units other than miles what metric unit of measure would you use for the same distance?
Kilometers
What are long-haul applications?
It is when transmission distances are greater than five miles
What are short-haul applications?
It is when transmission distances are less than five miles
Are earth-based stations that can transmit microwave signals directly to each other over distances of up to about 30 miles?
Microwave stations. It can't go more than 30 miles.
1 Kevin ran 4 miles more than Steve ran The sum of their distances is 26 miles How far did Steve run?

Can you see an article 2.5 miles away?
It depends on what the article is! You can see the sun, which is more than 90 million miles away, and stars and galaxies which are at much greater distances.
Is 3 miles greater than or less than 5280 yard's?
There are 1760 yards in one mile. Therefore, 3 miles is equal to 3 x 1760 = 5280 yards. The two distances are therefore identical.
Are roadrunners faster than a cheetah?
Roadrunners run up to 20 mph. Cheetahs can run short distances of 75 miles per hour.
Why do you use aus for distances between the sun and planets and use light years between stars and galaxies?
We like to measure things in convenient numbers, without lining up TOO many zeroes. So we measure the distance from home to work in miles or kilometers, not inches or centimeters. We measure the distance from Earth to the other planets in AU rather than in miles, and we measure the distances to the stars in light years rather than in miles or AU. An even larger unit, the megaparsec, is used to describe the distance to very distant galaxies.

How many miles from oxnard to los angelos California?
Obviously, the exact distance between Oxnard and LA depends on where you start in each city. From downtown Oxnard to Hywy 101 & Vine in LA is 53.9 miles. Other locations within each city would result in distances more or less than this.
What does gravitation force do in the atom?
Essentially nothing. Gravity is a very weak force, which only becomes measurable with large masses and over large distances. The other forces such as the "Strong Nuclear Force" are more energetic, but over only atomic distances. The "Weak Nuclear Force" and the "electromagnetic force" (which have been theoretically "unified" as the "electro-weak force" are weaker than the Strong Nuclear Force, but still far stronger than gravity - but electromagnetism is also effective only over fairly limited distances. Even VERY strong magnetic fields have very tiny effects over distances of hundreds or thousands of miles. Gravity is effective over interstellar, even intergalactic distances, but it plays essentially no role at all at atomic distances.
