How the distance between two cities was measured and is measured now?
The distance between the countries can be find by travelling
What is the unit of frequency measured in cycles per second?
Frequency is no longer measured in cycles per second. It is now measured using the unit 'hertz' (abbreviation Hz). However, one hertz is exactly the same thing as one cycle per second.
A unit in frequency measured in cycles per second?
That's the unit of frequency ... "cycles per second", or simply "cycles".It has now been officially renamed the "Hertz".
Is light years the best unit to describe the distance from earth to the sun?
yes it is we are learning this now and the answer is yes(:
How is solar system distance expressed?
Distances within the solar system are expressed in terms of the distance between the Earth ans the Sun. This distance is called an astronomical unit (abbreviated as au), a unit of length now defined as exactly 149,597,870,700 meters or 92,955,807.3 miles).
Is a soccer field measured by feet or yards?
Traditionlly, soccer fields are measured in yards. Since most of the world now uses the metric system, the official rules now measure in meters. For example, the required distance for opponents to stand is now 9.15 meters, instead of the traditional 10 yards. Measurements in feet are still traditionally used for the height of a goal structure's crossbar, but this too is officially measured in the metric system.
Are distances between stars measured miles or light years?
Any unit of distance can be used to describe any distance.In the case of the stars, the nearest one to our solar system is about 4.3 light yearsaway, or about 25,261,000,000,000 miles.That's the nearest star, after the sun.Can you see now why most astronomers choose to talk about light yearsrather than miles.
Is radiation measured in emissionssec called the curie?
Curie (Ci) is the old unit of radioactivity; now is used in SI the becquerel. The correct word is decays not emissions. 1 curie = 3,7.1010 decays/second
What unit do you use to measur wind direction?
The wind direction is measured with wind vanes or wind socks. Sexagesimal degrees.
What would you use to measure the distance around the equator?
On the surface of the Earth, miles used to be the traditional measure, but now displaced by the SI system with kilometres. An exception is in aviation, where horizontal distances are still measured in miles, and altitude measured in thousands of feet. This is to avoid confusing numbers between these two dimensions. There will still be many ships which measure speed in knots, and distance in nautical miles.
