Because otherwise it would be just a lot of leading zeros.

What is the difference between a decimeter than a diameter?
A decimetre is a metric unit for measuring distance. A diameter is a characteristic of a circle or similar shapes.
Is the diameter of a circle the same as the circumference?
No. Diameter is the distance across. Circumference is the distance around.
What is circumference and diameter and radius?
The circumference is the distance AROUND a circle. The diameter is the distance ACROSS a circle. The radius is the the distance FROM THE CENTER of the circle (same thing as one-half of the diameter).
What is diameter and circumference?
Diameter is distance across a circle or sphere, circumference is the distance around a circle or sphere
The - of an object depends on the diameter of the object and the distance to the object?
apparent diameter

Which unit would a scientist use for measuring the distance traveled by a car?
Scientists use Kilometers to measure distance traveled by a car
How long is 1 diameter?
The diameter is the distance of a straight line that passes through the center of a circle or sphere. The measurement begins at one edge and ends at the other edge. It is a unit of measuring such as length or width.
How do you tell a distance without measuring?
Anything with relative distance to the measuring distance. Such as a shadow to a building.
How you find the pcd of flange?
PCD (Pitch Circle Diameter) is the diameter of a circle that goes through each of the bolt holes. You can find it by measuring distance from centre of one bolt hole to the centre of opposite end bolt hole...
What is the difference of diameter and circumference?
Diameter is the distance across, circumference is the distance around.
What important discoveries about Earth the planets and the sun came from the scientist Alexandria?
They found the diameter of the Earth by measuring the angle of the Sun above the horizon at noon at two different places, Alexandria and Aswan. The 7 degree difference gave the Earth's circumference as 360/7 times the distance between those two cities.
How can you determine a waves wavelength?
by measuring the distance from crest to crest
Is the diameter of a circle the same as the circumference?
No. Diameter is the distance across. Circumference is the distance around.
How do put 231882 scientific notation?
Scientific notation is used because scientist got tired of writing a lot of zeros like the distance to a star. 2.31882 *10^5 is your answer but takes more ink!
When measuring one point to another what are you measuring?
When measuring one point to another point you are measuring distance.
A scientist is measuring the velocity of a coment as it travels around the Sun when information does she need to determine the velocity of the coment?
She needs to know the distance traveled round the sun and the time taken.
