What is the unit of a caterpillar's speed if the distance is measured in centimeters and the time in minutes?
The unit of speed in that case is " centimeters per minute ".
Why is the distace between earth and the sun measured in light minutes and the distance between neptune and the sun measured in light hours?
Because it only takes 8 minutes for sunlight to reach Earth, but it takes 4 hours to reach Neptune.
How can you give examples for absolute location?
Absolute location is typically defined by 3 (sometimes 4 variables): Latitude (distance from equator measured in degrees, minutes and seconds), longitude (distance from the prime meridian also given in degrees, minutes and seconds), elevation (distance above/below sea level) and sometimes time.
Is right ascension measured in hours minutes and seconds?
No.
What is the definition of Latitude and Longitude?
Latitude is the angular distance north or south from the equator of a point on the earth's surface, measured on the meridian of the point. And longitude is an angular distance on the earth's surface, measured east or west from the prime meridian at Greenwich, England, to the meridian passing through a position, expressed in degrees (or hours), minutes, and seconds.Sources:http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/longitudehttp://dictionary.reference.com/browse/latitude
What term is used for the measurement of distance from the equator?
Latitude, which is measured in degrees, minutes and seconds.
The distance between two cities is usually measured in?
Miles in the US. Kilometers in most other places. Or, distance is often measured in time: How many hours or minutes does it take to get there.
Why is the distance from the sun and earth is measured by light minutes and the distance from the sun and Pluto is measured by light years?
There is nothing in our solar system far enough away from anything else in our solar system to be measured in light years. Light from the sun takes 340 minutes to reach Pluto, ie. 340 light minutes. Apart from the sun, the nearest star to us, Proxima Centauri, is 4.3 light years away.
How long in light years is it to Jupiter?
The distance to Jupiter is better measured in light minutes. Depending on the relative positions in orbit the distance is anywhere between 30 and 70 light minutes. 0.000057 to 0.00013 light years

Why is the distace between earth and the sun measured in light minutes and the distance between neptune and the sun measured in light hours?
Because it only takes 8 minutes for sunlight to reach Earth, but it takes 4 hours to reach Neptune.
Suns distance in light years from us?
The sun is too close to us to be measured in light years; it is 8 light-minutes away.
What unit would you use to measure time to run a race?
The answer depends on the distance. Marathons are measured in hours and minutes, sprint distances in hundredths of a second.
Why power is measured in minutes not in seconds?
It's measured in Watts.
What are angles usually measured in?
They are measured in degrees, minutes and seconds
The question comes from my Physics workbook - where else apart from astronomy time units are used to describe measured distance?
You can use it whenever a certain speed is assumed. For example, "the school is 5 minutes walking distance from my home", or "the supermarket is 10 minutes from my home, by car". This is not very precise in terms of distance, but it gives you an idea.
