What else can I help you with?
What do you use to measure the distance to far away stars?
Light years, parsecs, and kiloparsecs. Light years and parsecs are used to measure distances between neighbouring star system's, kiloparsecs are used to measure distances within a galaxy.
What is the unit of measurement of the distances of the stars from the earth?
Light Year is unit for all astronomic distances
Why is light year convenient to use as a unit for measuring star distances?
Because, if we continued to measure the distances between star in miles, the numbers would be huge. One light-year is approximately equal to 5,865,696,000,000 miles !
What are the distances to stars measured in?
Astronomers typically measure distances in parsecs. One parsec is the distance of a hypothetical star having a parallax of 1 second of arc; it's about 3.2 light years.
How do astronomers measure distances from Earth to stars and what methods do they use?
Astronomers measure distances from Earth to stars using a method called parallax, which involves observing the apparent shift in a star's position as Earth orbits the Sun. They also use techniques like spectroscopy and standard candles to estimate distances to stars that are farther away.
What unit would you use to measure the distances from?
you would measure distances in centimetres, metres and kilo metres.
What can you measure miles?
You measure long distances with miles.
What you can measure with miles?
You measure long distances with miles.
What unit is used to measure distances on land?
It depends on what you are trying to measure. Long distances usually are measured in miles. Survey distances usually are measured in feet.
Temperature and radius of merak star?
the distances of the merak star
What do you measure in kilometers?
You could measure distances between cities.
What are the units called that measure distances to stars?
They measure them in light-years.
