What else can I help you with?
What measurement do you use for long distances in outerspace?
You can use astronomical units or light years.
Why do scientists use light minutes and light hours instead of light years?
There are so many zeros in the value of light years when talking about a few light minutes. 1 light minute is 0.000001901 light years People do not like to talk about very small numbers and few know by heart that 1 year = 525948.766 minutes or that 1 year = 8765.81277 hours
What unit would you use to describe the distance between the Earth and Neptune?

Why were light years created?
Light years is a measurement of length (not time!), and was taken to use for the purpose of illustrating the wast distances in the galaxy and the universe. One light year is the distance in which light will travel during one year at the speed of Light ~3*10^8 m/s.
How many years is 587 light years?

Why do we use light-years?
We use light years to tell us how fast light travels.
How much light does Colombia use?

How can you change light years into meter?
Use this conversion: light-years x 9,460,730,472,580,800 = metres
When should you use light years?
Light years are used to measure distance from Earth to distant stars and planets.
Why use light years?
Well, it is far easier to visualize "the distance light travels in 10 years" (i.e., 10 light years), than "9.5 x 1016 meters".
How does light travel in light years?
Ypu have to use scientific notation to the 10th power
Can you convert 30 light years in earth years?
No - a light year is a unit of distance - not time so you can't convert.
Which unit would you use for the width of galaxies?
Light-years
What measurement do you use from traveling from star to star?
Light years
Why do you use light years?
We use light years for the sake of easy readability. In the universe, most of the distances are in trillions of miles or so. You cant go writing that an object is 1400000000000000... miles from earth! To make it clear and concise, light year is the unit we use.
What do you use to measure space?
one way is how far light travles in a year , (light years)
What measurement do you use for long distances in outerspace?
You can use astronomical units or light years.
