How are distances between stars and Earth measured?

Distances between stars and Earth are measured using a method called parallax. This involves observing the apparent shift in position of a star when viewed from different points in Earth's orbit around the Sun. By measuring this shift, astronomers can calculate the distance to the star.

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
