Scientists mainly use Astrological Units [abbre. AU ] to measure distances within the Solar System. 1 Astrological Unit is somewhere around 49,580,000 - 49,590,000 kilometers, or roughly 49,600,000 kilometers if you prefer to round up.

AstroNOMICAL, NOT Astrological!
Astronomy is the science, using Astronomical Units.
Astrology is collective name for an assortment of similar, semi-religious beliefs.

AU (Astronomical Unit)
To measure the distances between planets is AU's.
standard SI units, e.g. m and km for distances

The astronomical unit (AU).
The universe is measured in lightyears
Probably AUs or Astronomical Units. 1AU= 93 million miles or about 150 million km. 1AU is the distance from the Earth to the Sun.
AU - Astronomical Unit, but miles and kilometers are used for distances
Use "Astronomical UNit" or AU when discussing distances within the solar system. Use "light year" when talking about the distances between stars.
One Astronomical Unit is the average distance between the Sun and the Earth. It is a useful measurement, so that we can say that "Neptune is 30 AU from the Sun" instead of saying "Neptune is 30 times farther from the Sun than the Earth is".
In general, it's safe to assume that traveling shorter distances in outer space is, and will continue being, faster than traveling larger distances.The distances between planets within our own Solar System are in the order of light-minutes to light-hours, i.e., it will take light minutes or hours to go from one planet to another. The distances to the closest stars (other than the Sun) are in the order of a few light-years. For example, the closest star (other than the Sun) is at a distance of about 4.2 light-years. The distances between nearby galaxies are in the order of hundreds of thousands to millions of light-years.

Not sure whether it is in any way more "useful", but a common unit of measurement for distances within the Solar System is the AU.SI units, especially meters and kilometers, are also used, though.
light years
You can use kilometers if you like. On the other hand, distances within the Solar System are often quoted in AU (astronomical units), where 1 astronomical unit is the distance from Sun to Earth. Such distances are easier to visualize.
This unit is mainly used for distances within the Solar System.
The units currently used for distance between stars are either light-years, or parsecs. If the stars are very close together (as in a binary system), AU might also be used.
AU - Astronomical Unit, but miles and kilometers are used for distances
A micrometer is used to measure very small distances.
Scientists use two main measurements in space, because it is so large that miles, kilometers, feet, etc. are just too small to measure efficiently. The two main measurements scientists use are: AU (Astronomical Units): 1 AU = the mean distance from the sun to earth. (Generally used when measuring distances within the solar system) LY (Light Years): 1 LY is the distance that light travels in 1 year. (Generally used when measuring distances outside the solar system)
Use "Astronomical UNit" or AU when discussing distances within the solar system. Use "light year" when talking about the distances between stars.
You might as well say, closest to the Earth, or to the Solar System - since distances within the Solar System are insignificant compared to the distances to other star systems.The closest star system is Toliman, also known as Rigil Kentaurus, or Alpha Centauri.The closest known galaxy is a dwarf galaxy, the Canis Maior Dwarf Galaxy - a satellite of our galaxy.You might as well say, closest to the Earth, or to the Solar System - since distances within the Solar System are insignificant compared to the distances to other star systems.The closest star system is Toliman, also known as Rigil Kentaurus, or Alpha Centauri.The closest known galaxy is a dwarf galaxy, the Canis Maior Dwarf Galaxy - a satellite of our galaxy.You might as well say, closest to the Earth, or to the Solar System - since distances within the Solar System are insignificant compared to the distances to other star systems.The closest star system is Toliman, also known as Rigil Kentaurus, or Alpha Centauri.The closest known galaxy is a dwarf galaxy, the Canis Maior Dwarf Galaxy - a satellite of our galaxy.You might as well say, closest to the Earth, or to the Solar System - since distances within the Solar System are insignificant compared to the distances to other star systems.The closest star system is Toliman, also known as Rigil Kentaurus, or Alpha Centauri.The closest known galaxy is a dwarf galaxy, the Canis Maior Dwarf Galaxy - a satellite of our galaxy.
Hi, Modified Jones Model which is recognized by name a type of old Jones Model that can very useful for measuring nondiscretionary accruals within a regression.
