What method is used to measure the movement of oceanic plates?
Satellites are used to measure the movement of plate by radiation.
What is the study of the movement of the sun and stars?
Stellar Kinematics
What unit of measure is used to measure tectonic plate movement?
centimeters
Why was a telescope created?
to gaze up at stars and record movement.
Method to measure the distance to nearby stars directly?
For nearby stars, the parallax method gives the most accurate measure of distances.For nearby stars, the parallax method gives the most accurate measure of distances.For nearby stars, the parallax method gives the most accurate measure of distances.For nearby stars, the parallax method gives the most accurate measure of distances.
How does the Doppler effect measure speed of stars and movement towards or away?
redshift
What unit would you use to measure the distances from stars?
To measure the distance of stars you have to measure by light years.
What are the stars that tells direction?
All stars can be used to tell which direction you are travelling in as the movement of the earth is in a consistant direction, allowing you to compare your movement with the direction that the stars are travelling in.
Why astronomers use to estimate the size of stars?
Because they cannot visit stars and measure their sizes with a tape measure!
Is Triangulation primarily used to measure the distance of close stars?
Answer #1:no=================Answer #2:Yes.Another answer: The primary use of triangulation may not be to measure the distance of stars, but the method which is used to measure the distance of close stars is primarily triangulation.
Can you predict the movement of the stars?
It's pretty easy. They move west at approximately 15 degrees per hour. Outside of that (which is a result of Earth's rotation, not an actual movement of the stars), most stars don't move appreciably over a human lifetime.
What method is used to measure the movement of oceanic plates?
Satellites are used to measure the movement of plate by radiation.
What is the measure of a stars brightness?
Magnitude.
What unit of measure is used to measure the distance to the stars?
light years
What are the units called that measure distances to stars?
They measure them in light-years.
What is the apparent movement of a star used to measure its distance from earth?
The apparent movement of a star used to measure its distance from Earth is called parallax. Astronomers observe how a star's position changes relative to more distant stars as Earth orbits the Sun, allowing them to calculate the star's distance based on the angle of this shift.
What is the apperent movement of stars called?
parallax
