Is Triangulation primarily used to measure the distance of close stars?
Answer #1:no=================Answer #2:Yes.Another answer: The primary use of triangulation may not be to measure the distance of stars, but the method which is used to measure the distance of close stars is primarily triangulation.
What unit of measure is used to measure the distance to the stars?
light years
What is used to measure distance to stars?
The appliance of science
Light years are used to measure distance between stars because?
. . they are a convenient unit. Another convenient unit is the parsec.
What is the units used to measure the distance of stars to the earth?
light years
Why is the light year used to measure the distance between the stars and us instead of kilometres?
it is so far that kilometers wont work
Do you use meters to measure the distance between stars?
Meters can be used; however, in practice, such distance are usually measured in parsecs, or (in popular astronomical literature) in light-years.
What do you use to measure the distance to far away stars?
Light years, parsecs, and kiloparsecs. Light years and parsecs are used to measure distances between neighbouring star system's, kiloparsecs are used to measure distances within a galaxy.
What unit of measure is used to measure the distance between genes?
Angstroms
Are kilometers used to measure the distance between cities?
Kilometres or miles are used to measure distances between cities.
What unit of measurement is used to measure between building?
The unit of measurement typically used to measure the distance between buildings is feet or meters.
What unit is used to measure between stars?
If I remember all of my astronomy classes correctly, the unit of measurement between Earth and the Sun is 1 A.U., or Astronomical Unit, which is equal to 93 million miles. 1 light year is equal to 5,865,696,000,000 miles (9,460,800,000,000 km). Astronimical Units are used to measure distance within our own galaxy. To measure the distance between stars and galaxies, the unit is called a parsec (PC). 1 PC = 3.26 light years. Hope this helps!
