What unit of measurement is used in knowing the distance between milkyway galaxy and other galaxies?
the light year
What is 3230 light years?
A light year is a measurement of distance, not time. It is the distance that light travels in a year. Light travels at about 186,000 miles per second, or 300,000 kilometres per second. There are over 31.5 million seconds in a year. So 3230 light years is a massive distance.
What is an light year?
The light year is used to measure distances that are greater than our solar system. It is the next form of measurement above the Au, or astronomical unit, or the distance between the Earth and and the sun. It is normally used to measure distances between stars or galaxies. The light year is equivalent to 5,878,625,373,183.61 miles or 9,460,730,472,580.81 km. See the related link for more information.
Are light-years stars?

What is a measurement of distance based on the speed of light?
A unit that is commonly used in astronomy is the light-year - the distance light travels in a year.
Why do astronomers use light year to measure time in space?
They don't. Light years are a distance measurement, not a time measurement.
