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)

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.
What two quantities did Edwin Hubble compare to discover the expansion of the Universe?
The Serperation of Galaxies which was caused by Dark Energy, and the Big Bang.
How does the distance between inner planets compare to distances between the outer planets?
They both use the astronomical unit or it can be called AU for short
How does the distance between planet earth and the sun compare with the distances between the planet earth and other stars?
The Sun is many thousands of times closer to Earth than any other star.
Why is light year used to measure the of stars?
No because the wavelength is determined by the star radiating the light. But over large distances from far-off galaxies there is a slight shift in the wavelength called the red shift, and the distance can be measured by the amount of red shift.
How does distance between earth and sun compare to distance between earth and nearby stars and galaxies?
We measure distances between celestial objects (such as suns, planets, and galaxies) by a unit of measurement called "AU" which stands for, Astronomical Unit. One AU is the equivalent to 93 million miles, which is roughly the distance from earth to the sun. Let's compare that to the next closest star to us, Alpha Centauri, which is 4.4 light years away, or about 271,930 AUs! Distances are Immense.
How do the distances between inner planets compare to distances between the outer planets?
The distances between the inner planets is smaller than the distances between the outer planets.
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 do the distances between the inner planets compare?
These distances compare from a long distance but one that is not nearly as far as the distance between the outer planets.
What evidence can you cite that the universe is flat How does that compare to previous beliefs about the universe?
The universe isn't flat. It is 3-Dimensional time and space. Galaxies are depicted as being donut shaped and flat
How do you best compare the amount of empty space in the universe to the amount of space galaxies occupy?
The amount of empty space in the Universe, between galaxies, is many times larger than the amount of space occupied by galaxies. This ratio depends on what part of the Universe you are looking at. For example, our galaxy has a diameter of about 100,000 light-years; the closest larger galaxy (M31) is at a distance of about 2.5 million light-years. However, that's just the Local Group; from the Local Group to another galaxy cluster, there is even more empty space.
What two quantities did Edwin Hubble compare to discover the expansion of the Universe?
The Serperation of Galaxies which was caused by Dark Energy, and the Big Bang.
How will you compare the distances between dots?
Google ka ba talaga?! bat ang bobo mo?
How does the distance between inner planets compare to distances between the outer planets?
They both use the astronomical unit or it can be called AU for short
Compare the distance between two stars and the distance between two planets?
The distance between stars are much greater than distances between objects in our solar system
How can asronomers infer approximately how long the universe has been expanding?
As a first approximation, they compare the current speed of expansion, with the distance between the expanding objects. The expansion is at a speed which, extrapolated backward, would place all galaxies very close together at a time that is ca. 14 billion years in the past.
Is it possible to compare two distances in geometry?
Yes, you can compare two distances in geometry. Here are some ways to do it: http://www.regentsprep.org/regents/math/geometry/gcg3/ldistance.htm
