Winds that blow over short distances are called what?
The Answer is Local Winds
A person who studies the sun?
A person who is involved in the astronomical study of sun is called a Heliologist
What is most common unit used to measure heat?
there is a device called a hydrometer that measures humidity. theres a unit to measure heat called a calorie. those are two to measure it!
What term is used to describe a star's brightness?
It is called Vmag. This is the visual magnitude of the object. Visual magnitude is a scale used by astronomers to measure the brightness of a star or other celestial object. Visual magnitude measures only the visible light from the object. The lower the V-MAG the brighter the star. You can go to http://seasky.org/pictures/sky7b14.html to learn more.
What is a measure of gem size called?
carat
An astronomical measure of distance is called?
Astronomers commonly use the unit of measurement called a "light-year" to describe vast distances in space. One light-year is the distance that light travels in one year, approximately 5.88 trillion miles or 9.46 trillion kilometers.
How do astronomers measure distances from Earth to stars and what methods do they use?
Astronomers measure distances from Earth to stars using a method called parallax, which involves observing the apparent shift in a star's position as Earth orbits the Sun. They also use techniques like spectroscopy and standard candles to estimate distances to stars that are farther away.
A unit of measurement for long distances is called?
Kilometers
What are the units called that measure distances to stars?
They measure them in light-years.
What was a rope used to measure distances called?
It is a measuring tape.
What is Measure of distance in space?
A "light year" is probably the best known measure. That's how far light travels through space in a year. Professional astronomers also use a measure called a "parsec". Of course, for relatively small distances miles and kilometers are used. Another unit used within our solar system is the astronomical unit (AU), which is equal to the average distance between Earth and the sun (about 93 million miles or about 150 gigameters).
How do astronomers determine the distances to other planets within the solar system?
Astronomers determine the distances to other planets within the solar system using a method called parallax. This involves measuring the apparent shift in position of a planet when viewed from different points in Earth's orbit. By comparing these measurements, astronomers can calculate the distance to the planet using trigonometry.
How do astronomers measure the distance to nearby stars?
Astronomers use a method called parallax to measure the distance to nearby stars. By observing how a star's position changes when viewed from different points in Earth's orbit around the Sun, astronomers can calculate the star's distance based on the angle of this apparent shift.
What is the name of the instrument that is used to measure walking distances?
its called mk meter!?
Why do scientist developed the solar Mass and solar radius?
In order to conveniently compare the distances from the various planets, astronomers devised a measure called the "astronomical unit". The Earth is one AU from the Sun. In order to conveniently compare the sizes of other stars to our Sun, astronomers use a "solar mass" as the mass of the Sun. and a "solar radius" as the radius of our Sun. This helps to make the comparisons more obvious to non-astronomers.
What are called astronomers?
people who study about the universe are called astronomers
Scientists who study the universe beyond earth are called?
They are called astronomers.
