Light Years
The distance between planets are measured in millions of kilometers while the distance between solar systems are measured in light years while the galxies and the universe are measured in AU (astronautical units)
Stellar distances, like the distances of stars and galaxies from Earth
Someday astronomers may have measured all the distances of 100 billion galaxies in the observable universe.
Distances in space are measured using a variety of methods, such as parallax for nearby stars, radar for planets in our solar system, and redshift for galaxies and other objects in the universe. These measurements help astronomers understand the scale of the universe and the vast distances between objects in space.
In the solar system, the distances between planets are much larger compared to the size of the planets themselves. In the universe, the distances between galaxies are also vast compared to the sizes of the galaxies.
In the vastness of space, galaxies are generally not close to each other. The space between galaxies is immense, with distances measured in millions of light-years. However, there are instances where galaxies can come relatively close together due to gravitational interactions or as part of galaxy clusters.
distances between cities are usually measured from the central post offices
Distances between towns is one possibility.
The SCALE of the map indicates the relationship between lengths measured on a map and the actual distances. It can indicate the ratio of distances (e.g. 1:10000) or the equivalent actual distance for an inch or centimeter as measured on the map, often providing a measurement bar for various distances.

Stellar distances are measured in light-years, which is the average distance between the Earth and the Sun.
