Astronomical distances are commonly measured in this unit?
lightyear
How is the unit lightyear measured?
It's calculated, not measured. It's the speed of light ... 299,792,458 meters per second ... multiplied by the number of seconds in a standard year.
What part of speech is lightyear?
"Lightyear" is a noun. It is a unit of distance used to measure interstellar space.

What is united?
A unit is what we measure something in. It helps us know both what is being measured, and the scale that is being measured. For example, if the unit is an inch, then we're measuring the length of something relatively small. If the unit is a lightyear, then we're measuring the distance of something huge (most likely the space between things in outer space).
Which mectric unit would be used for the speed of light?
lightyear.
How long does it take for a lightyear to travel?
A lightyear is the distance that light can travel in one year.
What unit do you use to measure the distance between one star to another star?
The distance between stars is typically measured in light years, which represents the distance that light can travel in one year. This unit is used because distances in space are vast and need a large unit of measurement.
What is a long unit of measurement that can be used to measure great distances?
a Lightyear, around 1013 kilometres.
Volume is measured in what unit?
Nolume is measured in unit meter cubed, m3.
