How is distance measured at cosmological scales?
Distance at galactic scales is usually measured in terms of lightyears. Distance at cosmological scales may also be put in terms of Hubble red-shift factors.
How were hurricanes measured before the Saffir-Simpson Scale?
Prior to the development of the Saffir-Simpson scale there was no rating system for hurricanes. The only distinction made was between major hurricanes with winds over 110 mph and minor hurricanes with sustained winds of 110 mph or less.
What is the name of the scale used to measure hurricanes and tornadoes?
Hurricanes and tornadoes are rated on different scales. Hurricanes are rated on the Saffir-Simpson scale from category 1 to category 5. Tornadoes are rated on the Enhanced Fujita scale (formerly the Fujita scale) from EF0 to EF5.
What are bathroom scales measured in?
depends on where you get them (Canada, United States, Europe) they can be in kg, lbs, or stones
Is measured using the Enhanced Fujita scale droughts floods hurricanes tornadoes?
The Enhanced Fujita scale is used to rate tornadoes.
Are tornadoes and hurricanes both vortices?
Yes. Both tornadoes and hurricanes are vortices, though they are on entire different scales.
How are the levels of hurricanes measured?
wind velocity

How are the scales of an earthquake measured?
ricter scale
How do you meaure mass?
Mass is measured using scales.
Temperature is measured in what three scales?
Fahrenheit, Celsius, or Kelvin.
Can a pack of chewing gum be measured in grams?
Yes, unless all scales and knowledge of how to make scales disappeared simultaneously.
Does a wind vane measure gravity?
No. The force of gravity is measured in scales.
What tool is gravitational force measured with?
For objects that we typically encounter in our daily experience,bathroom scales and truck scales do a fine job.
What are the common scales in which temperature is usually measured?
Fahrenheit and Celsius and sometimes Kelvin
What scale is used to classify the intensity of a hurricane?
The scale that hurricanes are measured on is called the Saffir- Simpson wind scale.
How were hurricanes measured before the Saffir-Simpson Scale?
Prior to the development of the Saffir-Simpson scale there was no rating system for hurricanes. The only distinction made was between major hurricanes with winds over 110 mph and minor hurricanes with sustained winds of 110 mph or less.
