The so-called "astronomical unit" is often used for this. One AU (astronomical unit) is the average distance from Sun to Earth; it is about 150 million kilometers.

How do distances between planets solar systems galaxies and the universe compare?
The distance between planets are measured in millions of kilometers while the distance between solar systems are measured in light years while the galxies and the universe are measured in AU (astronautical units)
What do sonar systems find?
Objects by sound. Mostly in water
Are latitude and right ascension are coordinate systems used to find objects on the celestial sphere?
The answer is False.
What is the only measure that is the same in the metric and english systems?
-40oF = -40oC
Why sun doesnt provide light to space other than 8 planets?
Mainly due to the distances involved. The planets are very close to our sun compared to other objects further out in other solar systems or galaxies. Light from our sun does go along way out, though becomes very feeble once you go out beyond the outermost planets in our solar system.

What equipment do they use to measure long distance?
An odometer for measuring long walkable distance. Long distances on the earth are probably best measured by geographical positioning systems (GPS).
How do you apply trigonometry in other fields?
There are an enormous number of uses of trigonometry and trigonometric functions. For instance, the technique of triangulation is used in astronomy to measure the distance to nearby stars, in geography to measure distances between landmarks, and in satellite navigation systems. Wikipedia has a page on the uses of trigonometry. Click on 'related links' below to go to that page.
How are irrigation systems helpful?
they help carry water from long distances
Momentum of a system is conserved only when?
When no momentum is exchanged with other objects/systems.When no momentum is exchanged with other objects/systems.When no momentum is exchanged with other objects/systems.When no momentum is exchanged with other objects/systems.
What systems are used to ensure that energy forms can travel long distances?
The transformation of voltage to a higher potential ensures that energy can travel long distances
What do you use a light year for?
A light year is used for measuring the distance between planets, others solar systems, galaxies, and other related celestial objects.
What do sonar systems find?

Which organ systems share the responsibilty of allowing higher level animals like mammals to apply force to objects?
The organ systems that share the responsibilty of allowing higher level animals like mammals to apply force to objects are mammalian systems.
The MMC can be used to manipulate services and objects in local and remote systems?
true

True
Why is it useful to have two separate systems to measure Earthquakes?
Two separate systems used to measure earthquakes are important for accuracy. More than one system to measure gives scientists an accurate measurement of an earthquakes strength.
