The scale used in space terms is often astronomical units (AU) for measuring distances within our solar system, light-years for interstellar distances, and parsecs for even greater distances in space. Astronomical units represent the average distance between the Earth and the Sun, which is about 93 million miles. Light-years are the distance that light travels in one year, roughly 5.88 trillion miles. A parsec is equivalent to about 3.26 light-years.

What is the instrument and the scale that is used to measure the magnitude of an earthquake called?

The instrument is called "seismometer."The first sacle of measurment for earthquakes is called the richter magnitude scale after its inventor, Charles Richter (in 1935 ), which categorises them in terms obtained by calculating the logarithm of their amplitude.This scale has been replaced in the 1970s, by the moment magnitude scale which measures the size of earthquakes in terms of the energy released.The modern scale retains the familiar continuum of magnitude values defined by the older one.


Is a 175000 scale map a large map?

The terms "small scale" and "large scale" are relative terms. Compared to a street map (typically 1:30000 or less) it is a large scale. Compared to a world map (1:10,000,000 or higher), it would be smaller. But because a 1:175000 does not show much detail (1 cm = 1.75 km), it would usually be considered a large scale map. It could be used for a metropolitan area highway map.
