How long is 28 lightyears?
A lightyear is not a measure of time but a measure of length that light can travel in 1 year. It would take 28 years for light to travel a lightyear
What unit of measure is most often used to describe distances to other stars beyond the sun?
-- "Light Year" for the closer ones -- "Parsec" for the farther ones
What unit of measurement is used for the radius?
Any measure of length, such as meters, centimeters, or light-years.
How many inches and yards are in 56?
It depends on 56 what: inches, miles, light years or some esoteric measure.
What is 4085 trillion divided by light years?
4085 is a pure number. A light year is a measure of distance whose numeric value depends on the units used. There is, therefore, no sensible answer to the question.
Why do scientist see the galaxies if they were millions and billions of years ago?
The galaxies beyond our own are millions to billions of light years away, meaning the light takes millions to billions of years to get here.
How many years does it take for light from the other side of the galaxy to get to earth?
Billions and billions of years....
How can you see stars billions of light years away?
The light from the stars travels billions of years. Most of the stars we see are already gone, but the light from them us still traveling.
If a galaxy appeared to be 8 billions years old how far would it have to be located to see it as its is being described?
Eight billions light years. Because that is how long it takes for light to reach us from there.
How far is it into space?
Billions and billions of light years away... or right in front of you. 'Tis a question for the UNIVERSE to answer, man!
What is the distance between star?
The distance between stars can be anything from light minutes to billions of light years.
How far away are you from the Sun?
Same distance as you are. Billions of light years away.
If you are four years away from a place would you be 4 light years away?
No, 'years' is a measure of time and 'light years' is a measure of distance.
Is betelgeuse the farthest star from earth?
Betelgeuse is not the farthest star from Earth. It is a red supergiant star located in the constellation of Orion, approximately 642.5 light years away from us. There are other stars much farther away from Earth in our galaxy.
How would you measure the speed of light?
Light years
Who uses scientific notation?
Scientists, Mathematicians and Engineers generally use scientific notation. In particular, those scientists and engineers who have to measure distances, weights or volumes of a very large or very small size. Astronomers, for example, may measure the distance of stars that are billions of billions of light years away. Wouldn't you rather write 4.9 * 1015 instead of 4,900,000,000,000,000?
What is the distance between (-3,6),(-3,-2)?
The distance between stars can be anything from light minutes to billions of light years.
