To name a few: millimeters, centimeters, meters, kilometers, inches, feet, yards, miles, and astronomical units (about 93 million miles each). Any these, and more, are used to measure linear displacement (distance).

What unit do you use to measure distance in your galaxy?
light years are used as a type of measurement to calculate the distance between planets, astronomical units are used to measure how far away a planet is from earth.

What are some examples of units of measure?
The foot, yard, mile, gallon, quart, pound and fluid ounce are examples of units of measurement in the United States customary units system. Examples of metric units of measurement include the meter, kilometer and gram.
What unit of measure would be used to measure distance?
The unit used for distance depends on the scale of distance being measured and the system of units the measurement is taken in.In the Imperial System (sometimes called the Standard system), some common units for distance are the inch, the foot, the yard, and the mile. Less commonly used are chains, leagues, fathoms, and hands. The foot is nominally the basic unit of this system, as most derived units (such as mass, work, and energy) are calculated in terms of feet. This system of measurement is rarely used outside the United States, the United Kingdom, and some Commonwealth countries. The foot is defined as 12 inches, where inches are defined as the distance light travels in 1/11,802,829,071.46 of a second.In the International System (sometimes called the metric system, or the SI [from the French Système international d'unités]), the basic unit for distance is the meter. Various prefixes can be used to denote different orders of magnitude. For instance, a millimeter is 1/1000 of long a meter, while a kilometers is 1000 times as long as a meter. The meter is defined as the distance light travels in 1/299,792,458 of a second.There are also a few units of astronomical distance. The light year (the distance light travels in one mean solar year) and the parsec (the distance to an object with a parallax angle of one arc second [1/3600 of a degree]) are two common units for astronomical distance.
What are the unit measure of distance?
There are many units. Km,m,cm,miles,feet,inches are some
Why some people use the informal units of measure?
i think it is to measure units of a square
Why is light measured in distance and not in time?
-- The distance that light travels in some amount of time is expressed in units of distance. -- The time that it takes light to cover some amount of distance is expressed in units of time. -- The speed of light is expressed in units of speed . . . distance/time

What are some similarties and some differences between standard units of measure inches and nonstandard units crayon?
if you measure a crayon with inches is not the same as measuring with feet.
How could you measure your walking speed?
If there is some longer distance that is known to you, see how long it takes you to walk that distance. Then divide the distance by the time, and convert to common units, like kilometers / hour. Or better convert to common units before dividing (if it takes you 6 minutes to walk the distance, calculate 0.1 hours; if the distance is 200 meters, calculate 0.2 km.).
What is 100 cube in mm?
The question cannot be answered.There are no units associated with the 100 so it is not possible to tell if it is a measure of distance, simply a number or a measure of some other characteristic.If it is a measure of distance, there is no way to know whether the question means 100 microns or 100 light years or some other unit.Also, whatever the nature of the 100 (measure of length, pure number, measure of something else), the answer cannot be in millimetres - which is a measure of length in ONE DIMENSION, not a cubic measure.

How many inches in a milliliter?
One inch is a LENGTH. -That means the physical distance between the start and end of some kind of linear object. Millilitres is VOLUME- a measure of content or capacity, usually expressed in units that are the cubes of linear units, or in simpler terms, what fits in a certain space. There is no similarity between LENGTH and VOLUME. They CAN NOT be 'converted' to each other.-There are NO millilitres in an inch
