What unit is used for measuring distance?
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.
What unit would you use to measure large distances?
Miles or Kilometers
Why is the light year a useful unit for measure distances to stars?
Because it is a large number, suitable for large distances. Astronomers also like to use the unit Parsec.
What metric unit do you use to measure the area of large fields?
Square metres.
What is a Long unit of measure for great distances?
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.
What is a unit used to measure the large distances between objects in our solar system?
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.
Which metric unit of mass you would use to measure a large water melon?
Kilogram
What metric unit would you use to measure the mass of a large dog?
The kilogramme.
What unit of measure is used to measure the length of a rowboat in metric?
The metric unit of length is the 'meter'.
Is yards a measure of metric unit?
No. The closest metric unit is the meter.
What is a metric unit to measure length and distance?
Metre, although the metric system also offers simple multiples of metres to measure much longer or shorter distances.
How do you measure land miles in metric system?
You don't, miles are not a unit in the metric system. All distances are measured in metres. Prefixes are used for multiples or fractions of a metre. Distances that used to be measured in miles would, today, be measured in kilometres.
