What unit of measurement is used to measure between building?

How does distance between earth and sun compare to distance between earth and nearby stars and galaxies?
We measure distances between celestial objects (such as suns, planets, and galaxies) by a unit of measurement called "AU" which stands for, Astronomical Unit. One AU is the equivalent to 93 million miles, which is roughly the distance from earth to the sun. Let's compare that to the next closest star to us, Alpha Centauri, which is 4.4 light years away, or about 271,930 AUs! Distances are Immense.
What unit of measurement is used to measure the average distance between the sun and the planet?
it is hydrogen peace
How is light years used in science measurement?
A light year is the distance light travels in a year. That is roughly 6,000,000,000,000 miles (six trillion miles). Thus such a unit is used only to measure the largest distances, those between stars and galaxies.
Why do scientist measure the distance from earth to various galaxies?
Do you homework yourself!
What is the Definition of Absolute Distance?
Absolute distance is a measure of distance which can be proven through standard measurement means. For example, a mile or a pound can be proven through the used of standard measurement tools.
Is the measurement of distance length?
It depends on what you want to measure. A unit that is suitable for the distance between subatomic particles will be of little use in measuring intergalactic distances (and conversely).
What is the distance between Indianapolis and London England?
You should set up a google account, then add the distance measurement tool mapplet. (search: distance measurement tool mapplet on Google) then open google maps and use the tool to measure the distance between London and Indianapolis. easy as pie
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!
What does an inch measure?
An inch is a measurement of linear distance.
How do you find the actual distance between two points on Earth using graphic scale?
You first measure the distance between the points as shown on the map, then you compare that measurement with the map scale.
