meters or kilometers.
Miles or Kilometers
Because it is a large number, suitable for large distances. Astronomers also like to use the unit Parsec.
Square metres.
The parsec is 3.26 light years. Astronomers measure distances to remote galaxies in megaparsecs--millions of parsecs. This is about the longest commonly used length metric.
The metric unit used to measure length and distance is the meter (m). It is the base unit for length in the International System of Units (SI) and is commonly used in many countries around the world for measuring distances.
The kilogramme.
Kilogram
The Astronomical unit is used to measure the large distances in our solar system. It is roughly the average distance between the Earth and the Sun.
The metric unit of length is the 'meter'.
There are MANY units used to measure distances both in Metric and in English types. We use Feet and Yards to measure distances in the US. The academic field often uses metric units like meters and kilometers to measure distances. For larger or massive distances there are the units of miles (English) and Kilomiters (Metric) and then in space we have the Astonomical Unit (Distance from earth to Sun) and the Light Year for the biggest distances. And there are the smaller measures of inches and millimeters.
No. The closest metric unit is the meter.
A metric unit of measure for volume, often liquids.
