Astronomers use a variety of instruments to measure the distance of stars, including parallax, spectroscopy, and cepheid variable stars. The parallax method involves measuring the slight shift in position of a star when viewed from different locations in Earth's orbit. Spectroscopy analyzes the light emitted by stars to determine their composition and distance. Cepheid variables are stars that pulsate in a regular cycle, allowing astronomers to calculate their distance based on their brightness.
What else can I help you with?
What is the interferometer used for?
It allows two or more small telescopes to achieve the angular resolution of a much larger telescope. This instrument is credited to Albert A. Michaelson.
What weather instrument measures moisture in the atmosphere?
A hygrometer is a weather instrument that measures moisture in the atmosphere. It quantifies the amount of water vapor present in the air to provide information about humidity levels.
Which instrument do you use to see stars and planets?
A spectrometer is used to determine the composition of stars, and how fast they are going relative to Earth.
What is an instrument that makes stars look brighter and closer?
a teliscope
What are the instrument use by the astronomer to gather information about stars?
telescope
What instrument measures distance by a wheel?
A hubmeter.
What instrument measures the distance of a street?
a pedometer
Which is the instrument that measures distance moved by car or lorry?
The odometer.
What instrument measures the distance between 2 towns?

What instrument measures stars?
Stars are observed by means of telescopes, which can have various photographic, spectroscopic, and image enhancement attachments.
What is an instrument that measures the ships positions of the stars which enables sailors to calculate a ships latitude?
Astrolabe or Sextant
What instrument measures the distance between your house and the grocery store?
I would use a odometer or a trundle wheel
What instrument measures position of stars?
an astrolobeThe instrument you are thinking of is the sextant and it was independently invented by two men at around the same time, John Hadley and Thomas Godfrey.Astrolabe
What is an absolute altimeter?
An absolute altimeter is an instrument which measures vertical distance to the surface below a certain reference point.
What instrument measures the wind of hurricanes?
Meteorologist observe the hurricane in a close distance with it. Maybe in the future there will be a tool which can measure the speed of the hurricane. :)
What instrument is used to measures mass?
This instrument is a balance.
