Degrees are commonly used. For small angles, the degree is divided into 60 minutes (arc-minutes), and each minute in turn has 60 seconds (arc-seconds).

How are the distances measured in space?
There are two main units of distance used for measuring space distances, they are solar units and light years
Which is the unit used for measuring the distance between heavenly bodies?
Three units are commonly used in astronomy - the astronomical unit; the light-year; and the parsec.
Why are astronomical units used?
measuring distances in the solar system.
Best unit to measure distance to nearby stars?
While lightyears are used in measuring distances between galaxies and suns and the distances to extra solar planets, the measurements inside our solar system (between the planets in our solar system are miles and kilometers. The larger A.U.s (Astronomical Units) or the mean distance from the Earth to the Sun can also be used. An A.U. is equivalent to 149 598 000 kilometers.
What is the relation between angstrom and astronomical unit?
Both are units used to measure distances. An angstrom is 10-10 meters - a very small unit. An AU is the distance from Earth to Sun, used to compare distances in the Solar System - a distance of about 150 million kilometers.Both are units used to measure distances.

What is for measuring length or distance in science?
For measuring length/distance, meter is used. Other units are km / cm/ mm.
Which unit is most appropiate for measuring distances within a group of stars?
The units currently used for distance between stars are either light-years, or parsecs. If the stars are very close together (as in a binary system), AU might also be used.
What are the basic SI units of measure?
For measuring distance, meter is used. For measuring mass, kilogram is used. For estimating time, second is used.
What is the units used to measure the distance of stars to the earth?
light years
What is used to measure distance between stars?
Light year or astronomical units
How are the distances measured in space?

What 2 units of measuring are used to express distance?
Miles and Kilometers? Centimeters and Inches? Meters and Feet?
What units are not metric units?
I think those are miles, feet, inches, yards (measuring distance) and pounds, ounces, gallons (measuring weight). For temperature it is Fahrenheit (used only by Americans and Belize)
How many acres are in 1000000000 kilometers?
Acres are used for measuring area, while kilometers are used for measuring distance. These two units can't be converted between one to another.
Why are units pounds feet and gallons used in science?
In olden days, they were used for measuring mass, distance and volumes. Nowadays, these units are not used in science anywhere in the world except in the US.
Which is the unit used for measuring the distance between heavenly bodies?
Three units are commonly used in astronomy - the astronomical unit; the light-year; and the parsec.
What do you mean by units of measuring weight?
I don't mean anything because I never used the term "units of measuring weight."
