It depends on the distance length; for example:
Units of measurement provide a standard to measure mass, length etc.So, it is useful.
You can use astronomical units or light years.
Distances are measured in metres.
Cubic units measure volume.
There are MANY units used to measure distances both in Metric and in English types. We use Feet and Yards to measure distances in the US. The academic field often uses metric units like meters and kilometers to measure distances. For larger or massive distances there are the units of miles (English) and Kilomiters (Metric) and then in space we have the Astonomical Unit (Distance from earth to Sun) and the Light Year for the biggest distances. And there are the smaller measures of inches and millimeters.
You can use the kilometer to measure small distances, but it is inconvenient to do so. A kilometer is a unit of measurement for a large distance. It is more accurate and practical to measure small distances using smaller units like the meter or centimeter.
Units of measurement are useful to rationally measure anything.
Centimetres are units used for the measurement of lengths (or distances).
They measure them in light-years.
Units of measurement provide a standard to measure mass, length etc.So, it is useful.
In units of measure(:
You can use astronomical units or light years.
Meters; for larger distances or sizes, kilometers. In astronomy, the following non-SI units are often used: astronomical units; light-years; parsecs.
Distances are measured in metres.
base on what you measure to use the metric units.
There area many units used for measurement of the distances .But , the S.I unit od distance is meters ( m ) .
Cubic units measure volume.
