No. Short distances (the width of a planet) are measured in kilometers. Distances from one place to another in our solar system are measured in Astronomical Units (AU), one AU being 93 million miles. Longer distances outside our solar system are popularly measured in light years, Alpha Centauri is 4.2 light years away, for example, but note I said "popularly". Astronomers use the term "parsecs" when speaking of interstellar distances (one parsec is 3.26 light years).
Lightyears and miles
Astronomy. It is a measure of distance in space and is equal to 19.17 trillion miles.
Distance in space is measured in 'light years' or in 'scientific notation'
Astronomical Unit - A unit of measure used in space. It is the mean distance from the Earth to the Sun. 93 million miles or about 150 million kilometers.
The unit of measurement commonly used to measure the distance traveled by a car is kilometers (km) or miles (mi).
Twenty eight light years is a unit of distance used to measure vast distances in space. It is equal to the distance that light travels in 28 years, which is approximately 168 trillion miles or 270 trillion kilometers. This distance is used to measure the scale of our universe.
Light year is used to measure the stellar distances whereas miles and km is used to measure distance on Earth.
Light year is used to measure the stellar distances whereas miles and km is used to measure distance on Earth.
Kilometres or miles are used to measure distances between cities.
A kilometer is a measure of distance and equates to 0.621371 miles.
Light years: the distance that light travels in a year.
AU stands for astronomical unit, which is a unit of distance used in space. It is the average distance between the Earth and the Sun, approximately 93 million miles (150 million kilometers). It is commonly used to measure distances within our solar system.
