Light years
Can the distances to nearby stars be measured by color?
That is one of the things scientists use to help them measure a stars distance but it isn't just based on the color.
The distances to nearby stars can be measured by using . a. absolute magnitude c. color b. temperature d. parallax?
preallax
What units are distances to stars measured in and why?
Usually such distances are measured either in light-years, or in parsecs.
What can distances to nearby stars determined by?
Stellar parallax
The distance to nearby stars can be measured by using?
Parallax

How are the distances to stars measured?
by the property of reflection or electromagnetic waves
What lengths are most conveniently measured in astronomical units?
Stellar distances, like the distances of stars and galaxies from Earth
What is another word for unit of measuring nearby stars?
another unit for measuring distances is AU (Astronmical Unit)
Explain why stars distances is measured in light years?
because the stars are very far away so the astronomers use light years
Why do we measure the movement of stars?
Parallax is the apparent change in position of an object when you look at it from different angles. Astronomers often us parallax to measure distances to nearby stars. This method can be used to determine stars' distances up to 400 light-years from Earth.
