What unit measures distance in the metric system?
The metre (meter in the USA) is the base unit of length in the metric system. It is equal to the distance light travels in a vacuum in a time interval of 1/299792458 of a second.
Is the Coma cluster the nearest cluster?
The Coma cluster is one of the nearest clusters but it is not the nearest. At a mean distance of about 321 million light years the Virgo Cluster is closer at a mean distance of only 59 million light years.
What is the nearest star in the Hercules constallation?
The nearest star is Gliese 623, at distance of 26 light years.
What is the distance between star?
The distance between stars can be anything from light minutes to billions of light years.
How does the distance between planets compare to the distance of stars?
The distance between stars is a couple of order of magnitudes higher than the distance between planets.To put this into perspective, the distance between earth and the sun is 8 light-minutes and the distance between other planets doesn't go further than a few light-hours. On the other hand, the distance between our sun and the nearest star (alpha centauri) is 4.4 light-years. This means that this distance is about 38544 larger than the distance between planets.Beyond that, the distance between stars can be extremely high: a star on the other side of our galaxy will be about 100000 light-years away from us. The distance will keep rising as we move on to different galaxies, then different galaxy clusters, the super clusters and then, finally, the width of the universe.
How distance in galaxy is used by earth?
The distance of the nearest galaxy nearest to earth is measured by analyzing the light coming from that galaxy. This method is performed by observing the individual object's brightness.
How long would it take light to travel from the nearest star to us?
The nearest star to Earth is regarded as the Sun. The light from the Sun takes 8.3 minutes approximately, after calculating the distance of the Sun from Earth and the speed of light. It can be calculated by the formula: Time = Distance / Speed. If you mean the nearest star apart from the Sun, that is "Proxima Centauri". That light from that star takes about 4.22 years to reach us.
What is the distance between (-3,6),(-3,-2)?
The distance between stars can be anything from light minutes to billions of light years.
What the scientists use to distance in outer space?
Light Years or AU (Astronomical units). It depends on what you are mesuring. For example the distance to the nearest star besides the sun is aproximitly 4.2 light years away vs. the earth is 1 AU away from the sun. (the au is the distance between the earth and the sun)
How many lightyears is the nearest star from the earth?
The nearest star to Earth is the sun, at a distance of 0.000016 light years from Earth. The next nearest star, Proxima Centauri, is about 4.2 light years away.
