What else can I help you with?
Would light year be useful in a model of the solar system?
Yes, a light year would be useful in a model of the solar system to represent distances between celestial objects, as it is a unit of measurement that denotes the distance light travels in a year. This can help convey the vast scales and distances involved in the solar system.
What is the measurement term used from the earth to the sun?
Astronomical Unit- The distance between objects in the solar system!
What will be the distance in international system of solar system?
A "distance" must be specified between two objects. There is no "distance of the Solar System" by itself.
How many months are in a solar year?
Solar year is a measurement of distance instead of time. It is the distance that light travels in one year.
To measure the width of your solar system you use what?
To measure the width of the solar system, astronomers use astronomical units (AU) as a common distance measurement. One astronomical unit is the average distance from Earth to the sun, approximately 93 million miles. This unit helps provide a scale for understanding distances within our solar system.
Why is it useful to study the smaller objects in the solar system?
scientists can use them to study the early solar system
Would the term light year be useful in a model of the solar system?
It would not because a light year is too large a unit. A more appropriate measurement unit is the Astronomical Units (AU), the average distance from the Sun to the Earth.The Solar system is thought to extend to the Oort Cloud, a theorised collection of icy objects which orbit the sun at a distance of approx 1.9 light years = 100,000 AU.The Heliopause, which is the distance at which the Solar Wind, (the Sun's radiation) is stopped by the interstellar medium, is only around 120 AU.The outermost planet, Neptune, has a radius of approx 30 AU = 0.0005 light years - an indication that a light year is not an appropriate measurement unit..
How far is our solar system from the Milky Way?
It is not any distance from it. Our solar system is in the Milky Way.
Would the term lightyear distance light travels in a year or 9.5 km be useful ina model of the solar system?
Neither one - try the light minute.
What distance is the solar system distance from Earth?
On average, the distance from Earth to the outer edge of the solar system (known as the heliopause) is about 11 billion miles, or roughly 18 billion kilometers. This distance can vary slightly due to the elliptical nature of the orbits of the planets.
What measure of distance is used within the solar system?
the solar system is measured in what are known as light years
What is the distance of the solar system in km?
six billion
