There are a few units or scales that measure these extreme distances:
Light Years - The distance taken for light to travel in one Earth year (365.24 day)
* Approx. 300,000km/ second * 60 seconds * 60 minutes * 24 hours * 365.24 days
Astronomical Units (AU) - The average distance between the Earth and the Sun
* 93,000,000 miles or 149,668,992 km - Jupiter is about 5.2 AU from the Sun
Parsecs - Based on a formula
* Basically 1 Parsec = 3.26 Light Years or 3.09 × 1013 km
