The main unit for distance is the meter. Derived units are of course also used, for example centimeter, millimeter, micrometer, nanomenter, kilometer. For some reason, megameter is rarely used for a million meters; instead, this is commonly expressed as "1000 kilometers". Similarly, larger prefixes might be used, but they are seldom used in practice.

What are the 4 units that distance can be measured in?
The four units that distance can be measured in are . . .inchesmetersyardskilometersmilescentimetersfeetparsecsmillimetersfurlongsastronomical unitsnanometersSmootsleagueslight yearsThere are also some others.
Convert 355 nanometers to Joules?
It's impossible. Nanometers are units of distance and Joules are units of energy.
Measurements of acceleration are given in units of?
(any unit of length or distance) divided by (any unit of time)2 is a unit of acceleration.
How are light years and astronomical units similar?
Light years and astronomical units are both units of distance.
What is the unit for displacement?
Displacement is measured in distance, so any measurement dealing with only distance will work. The SI units are meters.
How many hours is 5856km?
If it were possible to convert between units of time and units of distance, then you could calculate how many miles old you are.
What is the smallest kilogram kilometer milligram or millimeter?
It is not possible to compare units of mass (kilogram and milligram) with units of distance (kilometre, millimetre).
How many gallons are in 5614 miles?
Not possible to answer, as these are two different units of measure. Gallons is a measure of volume and miles is s unit of distance
Why is light measured in distance and not in time?
-- The distance that light travels in some amount of time is expressed in units of distance. -- The time that it takes light to cover some amount of distance is expressed in units of time. -- The speed of light is expressed in units of speed . . . distance/time

What two dimensions in addition to mass are commonly used by physicists to derive additional measurements?
One possible set of SI units and what they measure are: kilogram (mass)'meter (distance) second (time) ampere (electric current) kelvin (temperature) mole (amount of chemical substance) candela (luminous intensity). It is possible to change this set. For example, you could use speed and time as basic units and define speed/time as the derived unit of distance.
Why is it not possible for the absolute value of a number to be negative?
The absolute value depends on it's "distance" from zero. So if it's to the right (positive) by 5 units, or to the left (negative) by five units, then it's absolute value is 5
What is the metric for units of distance?
meter
What are the Sl units of distance?
There area many units used for measurement of the distances .But , the S.I unit od distance is meters ( m ) .
What is the distance from NY to CA on a plane in metric units?
9,899 metric units
What is Mars' average distance from the sun in astronomical units in astronomical units?
1.38
Units of section modulus?
Section Modulus is moment of inertia divided by distance from center of gravity to farthest point on the cross-section or I/c. The units of Moment of Inertia is distance^4 so the units of section modulus is distance^3 ( distance cubed ). So if your units are in meters: I/c = (m^4)/(m) = m^3
