Distance east or west of the Prime Meridian measured in degrees?
-- Distance is never expressed in degrees. -- The angle of the arc on the Earth's surface between the Prime Meridian and a location of interest is the location's longitude. It may be expressed in any units of angle.
Which planet is 1.00 A.U. from the sun?
Earth is 1.00 astronomical units (A.U.) from the sun.
What divides the globe into units called poles?
No. Each of the two 'poles' is a definite place ... a point on the surface of the earth. The earth is spinning, once every 24 hours (which is the reason we have day and night). If you picture the earth as a spinning basketball, you can imagine a giant pencil stuck through it that it spins on. The places where the giant pencil goes into the ball and comes out of the ball are the poles. If there was no spin, there wouldn't be any poles. The location of the north pole is 90 degrees north latitude. The location of the south pole is 90 degrees south latitude.
Where does Earth fit in terms of location?
Earth is the third planet from the sun.
What is the units used to measure the distance of stars to the earth?
light years
How many astromical units is mars?
1.4 AU
Where is comet halley?
As of May 2010 Halley's comet is 32 Astromical units from the Sun (4,800 million km's) For location, click on the link below.
Why do scientists use lightyears and astromical units?
I think it is because The Universe is so GIANT that earth measures just aren't enough. I hope I helped!
How do you change astromical units to kilometers?
There is no need to change astronomical unit into Kilometres cause 1AU = 1.495978707 x 108 kilometres
Which planet is one astromical unit from the sun?
Earth is one astronomical unit from the sun. The average distance between the sun and Earth is the definition of an astronomical unit.
Astronomy and the moon?
The moon is pretty much the only astromical object (except earth) a person can look at and see detail on without some optical aid.
Do SI Units remain the same no matter where the measurement is taken on the Moon or on Earth?
Yes, the idea is that the units don't depend on local conditions such as the gravitational field.
If an object has a mass on earth is 60 units what will be the mass of the same object on the moon?
Exactly the same. Mass is the same everywhere. The weight will be 1/6 less on the moon though.
Why is the earth divided into very long units of time?
Why is the earth divided into very long units of time
How many miles in a parsec?
There are 19 trillion miles (31 trillion kilometres) in a parsec, which is an astromical measurement.
How far from the sun is all the plants?
Mercury--0.387 astronomical units Venus--0.723 astronomical units Earth--1.0 astronomical units Mars--1.524 astronomical units Jupiter--5.203 astronomical units Saturn--9.529 astronomical units Uranus--19.19 astronomical units Neptune--30.06 astronomical units Pluto--39.53 astronomical units Please note that these are all mean distances, and the actual distance will vary as to the location of the specific planet in its specific orbit.
What is an astromical unit?
When describing distances on the scale of our solar system, conventional units of measure are not conventially sized. Miles are so small and the large things are lightyears, to permit simply compared numbers. For example, between the sun and the earth are 93,000,000 miles; Between the sun and Pluto is about 3,700,000,000 miles away. However, comparing those two numbers it has difficulties to see that Pluto is about 40 times.
