What is the unit of measure for work output?
The 'ERG' is the standard unit for work or mechanical energy.
What unit of measure is used to measure voltage?
The SI unit of voltage is the Volt, which is a derived unit equivalent to a Joule/Coulomb.

The metric unit of length is the 'meter'.
What is the Base Unit of Measure for FAID6000?
The base unit of measure for FAID6000 is each (EA).
What is a unit use to measure angles?
the unit used to measure angle is degree. It is also measured in radians.
How do you solve astronomical unit of proxima star?
Since it is so close you would use stellar parallax to resolve the distance to proxima centauri.
How do you use the word parallax in a sentence?
The astronomical unit called a parsec is based on the idea of parallax.
What distance must astronomers know before using parallax to determine the distance to a star?
The baseline distance is one astronomical unit, the average radius of the Earth's orbit. Measurements of a star's position against the background of distant stars are made at intervals of 6 months, when the Earth is at two different places, to measure the parallax and hence the distance to individual stars. For a parallax of 1 arc-second the distance is 1 parsec, equal to a distance of 3.26 light-years. In astronomical data, stars' distances are quoted in parsecs. In the 19th century Bessel was the first astronomer to measure parallax and so discover that the stars are at distances that are much larger than was thought possible before then. Even the closest stars have a parallax of under 1 second of arc, and until the 19th century the apparent absence of parallax in stars was taken as a major proof that the Earth cannot be in motion round the Sun, and this was quoted by Galileo (among many others) before he adopted the Copernican heliocentric system later.
Star distance measured by what?
depends who's measuring and which star. it is a matter of preference. 1. kilometers/miles - relatively nearby star like our sun 2. lightyears - near-medium star like the nearest star except the sun 3. parsecs - medium-far star 4. megaparsecs - very far star there are some others but they are not the usual ones
Is parsec a linear distance measure?
Yes. The parsec is a unit of distance, or length, equal to about 3.26 light-years, or 3.09 x 1016 meters.
What does par in parsec means?
parallax[parallax+second], in astronomy, basic unit of length for measuring interstellar and intergalactic distances, equal to 206,265 times the distance from the earth to the sun, 3.26 light-years, or 3.08×1013 km (about 19 million million mi). The distance in parsecs of an object from the earth is the reciprocal of the http://www.answers.com/topic/parallax of the object. The nearest star, Proxima Centauri, has a parallax of 0.763″ of arc and a distance of about 1.31 parsecs.definition from Answers.com
What mathematical equation describes how to measure the distance from earth to the moon using earths diameter as a unit of measure?
The mathematical equation which describes how to measure the distance from Earth to the moon using Earth's diameter as a unit of measure is d = Dcot(p/2)/2 Where d is the distance from Earth to the moon, D is the diameter of the Earth and p is the angle of parallax subtended at moon by the diameter of the Earth.
In what unit do I measure the radius of a star?
You can use kilometers. Or you can compare it to the radius of our Sun, and say, for example, "This star has 600 times the diameter [or radius] of our Sun."
What is the unit of measurement of the distances of the stars from the earth?
Light Year is unit for all astronomic distances
What unit of measurement do scientists use to measure earths distance from the sun?
Either parsecs or light years (a parsec is about 3.2 light years; it's the distance at which an object shows a parallax of one arc-second when measured on opposite sides of the Earth's orbit).
What unit do you use to measure the distance between one star to another star?
The distance between stars is typically measured in light years, which represents the distance that light can travel in one year. This unit is used because distances in space are vast and need a large unit of measurement.
What is CO unit of measure?
As far as I am aware, CO is not a unit of measure.
