Why do scientists use light-years and astronomical units?
meters, feet, and even miles are way too small to measure distances in space. astronomical units are mostly used to measure distances in our solar system. light years are used to measure the distances of things further away from our solar system.
How do you use the solar system in a sentence?
Today we had to turn our projects in about the 3d solar system.
How little can solar panels be?
Solar panels can vary in size, but for residential use, a solar panel can typically be around 3 feet by 5 feet. The smallest portable solar panels for charging small devices can be as small as a few inches in width and length.
Are kilometers the most useful unit of measure when discussing objects in our solar sysytem?
You can use kilometers if you like. On the other hand, distances within the Solar System are often quoted in AU (astronomical units), where 1 astronomical unit is the distance from Sun to Earth. Such distances are easier to visualize.
Why do scientists use light minutes and light hours instead of light years to measure distances with your solar systeam?
Objects in the solar system are much smaller than a light year. Light takes only minutes or hours to pass from one planet to another. To measure interplanetary distances in light years would be like measuring the sizes of insects in miles. Usually, though, rather than light hours and light minutes, distances in the solar system are measured in Astronomical Units (AU), which is average distance between Earth and the sun, about eight light minutes.

What do you use to measure the passage of time in terms of the patterns of your solar system?
ASTROLABE
What would you use to measure the width of your classroom?
METERS!!!The unit of measurement you would use to measure the width of your classroom is meters.
Why do you not use light year inside of solar system?
For the same reason you wouldn't use a ruler to measure a paramecium. A lightyear is the distance that light travels in a year, about 6,000,000,000,000 miles. The reason it isn't used inside of our solar system is, simply, because the solar system isn't that big.
What unit of measure would you use to measure the width of a sheet of paper?

What unit of measure would you use to measure width an insect?
Parsecs
What unit of measure in the metric system would you use to measure a sharpener?
To measure a sharpener in the metric system, you would typically use centimeters (cm) for its length, width, and height. If you need to measure smaller dimensions, millimeters (mm) might be more appropriate. For weight, grams (g) would be used.
