True or false Triangulation is the preferred method of calculation for all astronomical distances?
That statement is both true and false.
Sure, triangulation is the preferred method, if it works. But for anything
more distant than a few hundred of the nearest stars, triangulation fails,
so we're forced to find other ways of measuring farther objects.
And by the way ... triangulation is a method of measurement, not calculation.

Who devised the astronomical units?
Astronomers use AU to measure distances around the solar system, when miles are too small and light years are too long. Many astronomers already are using "light-seconds" as a more standard measure; this is especially useful when working with deep space probes, because the distance directly gives you the travel time of a radio signal one way. I expect that as mankind expands into space for the long run, that light seconds will become the preferred measurement. One Astronomical Unit = 500 light-seconds, almost exactly.
How does water transport compare with other kinds?
Water transport is preferred for transporting bulky goods over long distances economically, as ships can carry large quantities of cargo. It is slower than air transport but faster than road or rail transport for long distances. Water transport is also more environmentally friendly compared to other modes of transport.
Why is a map preferred to a globe?
Maps allow you to see several areas of the surface at once and compare sizes, distances, etc. where a globe's curved surface obscures view and makes it difficult to look at a large area.
What nutrient is the preferred energy source for the body?
Carbohydrates are the preferred energy source for the body, as they are broken down into glucose which is readily used by cells for energy production.
Which of the following statements best describes the difference between a refracting telescope and a reflecting telescope?
A refracting telescope uses lenses to gather and focus light, while a reflecting telescope uses mirrors. Reflecting telescopes are often preferred for large astronomical telescopes because mirrors can be made larger and more easily than lenses.
What is the Preferred two man carry for long distances?
fore and aft
What is 50 000 000 000 000 meters?
It is 5.0*1013 metres, or 5.0*1010 kilometres. Although higher prefices do exist, they are not normally used in the context of distances. Scientific notation is usually the preferred option.It is 5.0*1013 metres, or 5.0*1010 kilometres. Although higher prefices do exist, they are not normally used in the context of distances.

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 form of math did Mondrian use in his art?
Piet Mondrian's works are very geometric, although while creating his compositions he preferred to use intuition over calculation.
Why are radio waves the preferred choice for communication?
Radio waves are the preferred choice for communication because they can travel long distances without losing strength, can pass through obstacles like buildings and clouds, and can carry a wide range of information such as sound and data.
How to calculate prefrred dividend before devidend declared?
Calculation of preferred dividend does not depend upon the dividend declared at the end of the year. Preferred dividend is fixed and is calculated using the fixed percentage of preferred dividend. For example a company has 1000 shares of 6 preferred stock outstanding, each with par value of $100. 6 mentioned before preferred stock is the dividend rate(6%) to be received by preferred shares. Preferred Dividend = No. of preffered shares outstanding x Par value of each share x Dividend rate. = 1000 x 100 x 6%. = $ 6000. Dividend per share = 6000/1000 = $6
Why is midpoint subdivision algorithm preferred over Cohen-Sutherland algorithm?
The cohen sutherland algo requires calculation of intersection of the line with the window edge.This direct calculation is avoided by performing a binary search for the intersection by always dividing the line at its midpoint.To implement it a parallel architecture is used and hardware division addition by 2 is very fast

How does an aphid move?
Legs and wings are ways in which an aphid moves. The insect in question (Aphidoidea superfamily) opts for "walking" as the most preferred form of transportation even though adults are capable of flying short distances.
