How are the distances measured in space?
There are two main units of distance used for measuring space distances, they are solar units and light years
What is the Distance between the Leo stars?
The stars in Leo the Lion (and all the other constellations) are not next to each other. They are all very different distances from Earth and therefor can't be measured in those terms.
Why are astronomical units used?
measuring distances in the solar system.
Are planets closer to Earth than stars?
Yes. The planets are much closer to our star, "The Sun" than to other stars out there. In fact, Earth is only 149,600,000 Km away from the Sun! But to travel to the next closest star, you would have to travel at the speed of light (300,000 Km/sec) for 4 years!
The distance to nearby stars can be measured by using?
Parallax
What lengths are most conveniently measured in astronomical units?
Stellar distances, like the distances of stars and galaxies from Earth
What can the distances to nearby stars be measured by?
Light years
How are the distances measured in space?
There are two main units of distance used for measuring space distances, they are solar units and light years
How are the distances to stars measured?
by the property of reflection or electromagnetic waves
What can the distances of nearby stars be measured by?
parsecs or light years
What metric units are used to measure distant?
Distances are measured in metres.
How are distances measured in spain?
In SI units. Depending on the scale, they are measured in kilometres, metres, centimetres, millimetres etc.
What are the units called that measure distances to stars?
They measure them in light-years.
What units are used inside the solar system?
in the solar system, distances are measured in AU's which stand for atronomical units.
What units are stellar distances expressed in?
Stellar distances are measured in light-years, which is the average distance between the Earth and the Sun.
Can be measured in ft in cm?
Length can be measured in feet, inches and centimetres
Explain why stars distances is measured in light years?
because the stars are very far away so the astronomers use light years
