The distance between objects in the universe are usually measured in light years because?
Astronomers normally use parsecs to define distance on a galactic scale. The definition of a parsec is quite difficult to visualise if you are not familiar with terms such as parallax and arcsecond. (The word parsec is derived from these terms; parallax arcsecond).
In contrast to this, it is easy to grasp the concept of a light year. It is the distance that light travels [in a vacuum] in one [Julian] year. This is why popular science articles tend to express distances in light years.

What is the distance between the opposite sides of the universe?
No one on earth knows. The universe hasn't been measured, and we may never reach the ends of the universe, if the universe ever ends.
How do distances between planets solar systems galaxies and the universe compare?
The distance between planets are measured in millions of kilometers while the distance between solar systems are measured in light years while the galxies and the universe are measured in AU (astronautical units)
What is happening to the distance between galaxies because of the big bang?
The distance is getting larger as the universe expands.
How the distance between two cities was measured and is measured now?
The distance between the countries can be find by travelling
What can be measured in kilometres?
Distance is measured in kilometres, such as the distance between two towns, or the distance from the Earth to the Moon.
What is the wavelength of a longitudinal wave?
A longitudinal wave does not have a specific wavelength because it is measured by the distance between compressions or rarefactions, rather than the distance between wave crests.
What is the significance of the distance between galaxies in understanding the vastness of the universe?
The distance between galaxies is significant in understanding the vastness of the universe because it shows the immense scale of the cosmos. The vast distances between galaxies highlight the sheer size and expanse of the universe, giving us a sense of how small and interconnected we are in the grand scheme of things.
Are the stars measured in light years?
Stars are not measured in light years. The distance between them is.
The measured length between two points?

How absolute distance is measured?
Distance is measured using reference points therefore distance, between objects, is relative. Some of the units used can be absolute, the separation between two or more points cannot.
Why is distance between two cities measured in metres?
It is more likely to be measured in miles, or kilometres, due to the distance between the two cities.
