What is the most useful unit for measuring distances within the solar system?
. . . . . . . . . .Scientists mainly use Astrological Units [abbre. AU ] to measure distances within the Solar System. 1 Astrological Unit is somewhere around 49,580,000 - 49,590,000 kilometers, or roughly 49,600,000 kilometers if you prefer to round up.- S0L+++AstroNOMICAL, NOT Astrological!Astronomy is the science, using Astronomical Units.Astrology is collective name for an assortment of similar, semi-religious beliefs.. . . . . . . . . .
What are the average distances between all the gas planets and the sun?
The actual distances between each of the eight planets varies a lot, as their orbits are all different. Two planets might be close to each other at a given time, but several months or years later they might be on opposite sides of the universe, so their distances would be huge.
What is different about the astronomical body of planet Mercury?
what is unique about the astronomical body of planet Mercury and why is it important in the universe?When was the planet Mercury discovered?
Is everything in the universe stationary?
No. More accurately, nothing in the universe is stationary. There is no single fixed reference point in the expanding universe, and all known astronomical objects are in motion with respect to one another.
How does the study of cosmology relate to astronomy?
Cosmology is the study of the grand scale of the universe. Without astronomical observation there is no proof to cosmological theory.
What is an astronomical catalog?
An astronomical catalog is a catalog of astronomical objects in the viewable universe, whether by the naked eye or through telescope or other means, used to explore the universe in hopes to discover new astronomical objects.

How are the distances in the universe measures?
In 'light years' or in 'scientific notation'
Why math is practical?
