What is the wavelength of a wave measured in?
"Wavelength" is described in any convenient unit of length or distance, such as meter, foot, inch, furlong, kilometer, Angstrom, smoot, light-year, etc.
What is an example of a quantity of time?
An example of a quantity of time is the second. Other examples are the minute and hour. You could go on and on - day, month, year, etc.
What is the difference between a light year and a year?
A light year is actually a measure of distance. it's the distance that light travels in one earth-year. A year is a measurement of time equal to the amount of time that it takes the earth to go around the sun once.
What is meant by the term light year?
the distance light travels in one year. light travels at around 300,000,000 metres per second. 1 year has 31,556,962 seconds in it, therefore a light-year is approximately 9,467,088,600,000,000 metres.
Is light year per hour is a measure of speed?
Well... yes, but it's not a very useful one. Light travels one light year in... one year. So the speed of light (which you cannot accelerate to) is about 1/8766 light years per hour.
How is a light - year measured?
Distance
The light year is measured by?
how far u can travel at the speed of light in a year
Is a light year measured in energy produced?
No. A light year is a measure of distance. It is the distance light travels in a year.
Is a light year measured in distance?
Not really. A light year is a measure of distance. It is the distance light can travel in one earth year, about 6 trillion miles
How is the unit light-year is a measured?
Distance
Why a light years measured in distance?
Because that's how it is defined. A light-year is the distance that light travels in a year.
Is the sun measured in light years?
'Light-year' is a unit of a distance. It is the distance for light to travel one year. So it is a great distance.
Which parameter is measured in light year?
"Light year" is a unit of length or distance, equivalent to roughly 5,878,600,000,000 miles. (rounded)
Where in the Universe would you find light year?
A light year is not a physical object; rather, it is the distance light travels in a year.
Stellar distance are usually expressed in what units?
A light year
What is length in physics?
A physical quantity measured in one dimension. Breadth, diameter, radius, depth, height, thickness, distance, displacement, diagonal, side all belong to length Meter is the unit for length in SI system of units For convenience we use mm, micrometer, nanometer, Angstrom, femtometer As larger units we use, kilo meter, astronomical distance, light year
What are the two parts of a measurements?
-the quantity (magnitude,numerical value). -the units (in inch,meter,light year).
