True or false a light year is measured in distance?
False the light year is not a unit of time it is a unit of distance true.
What tool would you use to measure the distance around a pumpkin?
A cloth tape measure.
How is the red shift and blue shift related to the big bang theory?
If a galaxy is red-shifted, the distance us and that galaxy is increasing. If it is blue-shifted, the distance is decreasing. If the galaxies in our Universe were random in their velocities relative to us, about half of them would be red-shifted and about half would be blue-shifted; and the distance between us and another galaxy would have no effect on the ratio. But that's not what we see. All galaxies outside our Local Cluster are red-shifted, and we find that the greater the distance between us and a galaxy, the greater the red shift. That the size of the red shift depends on the distance is isotopic in all directions, meaning the distance between us and all other galaxies is increasing at the same ratio based on distance from us. The BEST explanation of this undeniable fact is that, at some time, space itself (NOT the matter, but space) began to expand, taking matter along for the "ride." IF that hypothesis is correct, we would observe, not only red-shift in all distant galaxies, but other effects. We do indeed see the latter, and exactly as predicted by the Big Bang.
What happens to the sun when the distance increases orbital period of planet?
If a planet's distance from the sun would increase, its revolutionary path would be extended (because it would have to traverse more distance), ergo increasing its period of revolution. Take an ellipse and enlarge it, then measure the perimeter of each ellipse, the larger one will have a larger perimeter.
Considering that the more distant an object is the smaller the angle it will make why would parallax measurements be better suited for stars than for galaxies?
At larger distance, the parallax becomes smaller, and therefore harder to measure. Even the closest star (Toliman) has a parallax of less than one arc-second (1/3600 of a degree), which is difficult to measure. Stars that are farther away have a much smaller parallax.
What would you use to measure the distance across your state?
They are meters to measure
How would you measure the distance across the room?
3
What unit of measure would be used to measure the distance across lake Erie?
The most commonly used unit of measure to measure the distance across Lake Erie would be kilometers or miles.
What unit of measurement would you use to measure the distance across the US?
miles or kilometers
Which metric unit of length would you use to measure the distance across Oklahoma?
Miles is best.
Why is a mile not an appropiate measure for the Milky Way?
Because the distance across the Milky Way would be 588,000,000,000,000,000 miles.
How would you measure the distance of the door meters or liters?
You would measure the distance of the door with meters because liters measure volume not length.
True or false a light year is measured in distance?
False the light year is not a unit of time it is a unit of distance true.
How far across a section of land?
It depends on the section of land and the unit of measure, a Section is 640 Acres, but an acre measures area, not distance. However, if the section is perfectly square, the distance across would be exactly 5,280 feet, or one mile.
