What kinds of distances would you choose to make measurements in millimeters and kilometers?
KILOMETERS Kilometers
What measure in astonomical unites instead of kilometers?
The distance from the Sun to Earth is 149,958,000 kilometers, or 1 AU. When measuring distances around the solar system, which one would be simpler to use, km or AU? Since most interplanetary distances are expressed in AU anyway, it's easier to visualize AU than miles or kilometers.
Name a distance you would measure in kilometers?
Distances on the road, or very large parcels of land. Probably the distance from the earth to the moon.
When measuring long distances in customary units other than miles what metric unit of measure would you use for the same distance?
Kilometers
How do you measure from a known point by English and metric system?
In the English (or imperial) system, distances are measured in inches, feet, yards, or miles, depending on what kind of distance you want to measure. In the metric system, commonly used units are millimeters, centimeters, meters, kilometers - again, depending on how long the distance is, you would usually choose a shorter or a larger unit.

How you could change your drawing so that the side view would be more exaggerated?
Take the actually measurements in kilometers (km) and convert them to centimeters (cm) and record them so that the measurements will be more accurate.

How do you measure long distances -metric?
I would use meters because well thats the only other choice to choose from!
When measuring long distances in customary units other than miles what metric unit of measure would you use for the same distance?
Kilometers
List when do you use kilometers to measure a distance?
The decision when to use kilometers and when to use meters is sort of arbitrary. But usually you would use kilometers when you expect the distance to be close to a kilometer, or larger than a kilometer. For example, distances between towns or cities are often expressed in kilometers.
When writing a book should one use miles or kilometers to describe height and length?
You should use whichever measurements your characters would use!
What is a click on a military map?
Well "click" is really a "Klick", and stands for Kilometers. So "two klicks" would be two kilkometers. One kilometer = 0.62137119 miles One mile = 1.609344 kilometers Most measurements outside the USA use kilometers and not miles.
