Distance is measured in miles Time is measured in minutes and hours Wheat is measured in bushels What is measured in acre-feet?
Water deposited by rain or artificial irrigation.
Why is the distace between earth and the sun measured in light minutes and the distance between neptune and the sun measured in light hours?
Because it only takes 8 minutes for sunlight to reach Earth, but it takes 4 hours to reach Neptune.
How can you give examples for absolute location?
Absolute location is typically defined by 3 (sometimes 4 variables): Latitude (distance from equator measured in degrees, minutes and seconds), longitude (distance from the prime meridian also given in degrees, minutes and seconds), elevation (distance above/below sea level) and sometimes time.
Is right ascension measured in hours minutes and seconds?
No.
What is the definition of Latitude and Longitude?
Latitude is the angular distance north or south from the equator of a point on the earth's surface, measured on the meridian of the point. And longitude is an angular distance on the earth's surface, measured east or west from the prime meridian at Greenwich, England, to the meridian passing through a position, expressed in degrees (or hours), minutes, and seconds.Sources:http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/longitudehttp://dictionary.reference.com/browse/latitude
Determine the unit of a caterpillars speed if you measure the distance in centimeters and the time it takes to travel that distance in minutes how would you graph the data?
cm/min -- centimeters per minute, speed is always determined by distance over time. :)
What term is used for the measurement of distance from the equator?
Latitude, which is measured in degrees, minutes and seconds.
Distance is measured in miles Time is measured in minutes and hours Wheat is measured in bushels What is measured in acre-feet?
Water deposited by rain or artificial irrigation.
The distance between two cities is usually measured in?
Miles in the US. Kilometers in most other places. Or, distance is often measured in time: How many hours or minutes does it take to get there.

If 10 caterpillars take 10 minutes to crawl 10 feet how long would it take 20 caterpillars to crawl 10 feet?
it would be 20 minutes. actually it would still be 10 minutes. the rate of the caterpillars is 1 ft/min. doubling the number of caterpillars wouldn't half their rate of movement.
Why is the distance from the sun and earth is measured by light minutes and the distance from the sun and Pluto is measured by light years?
There is nothing in our solar system far enough away from anything else in our solar system to be measured in light years. Light from the sun takes 340 minutes to reach Pluto, ie. 340 light minutes. Apart from the sun, the nearest star to us, Proxima Centauri, is 4.3 light years away.
How long in light years is it to Jupiter?
The distance to Jupiter is better measured in light minutes. Depending on the relative positions in orbit the distance is anywhere between 30 and 70 light minutes. 0.000057 to 0.00013 light years
Why is the distace between earth and the sun measured in light minutes and the distance between neptune and the sun measured in light hours?
Because it only takes 8 minutes for sunlight to reach Earth, but it takes 4 hours to reach Neptune.
What distance would a cockroach, crawling at a speed of 1.5 centimetres per second, cover in an hour?
To calculate the distance a cockroach, crawling at a speed of 1.5 centimeters per second, would cover in an hour, we need to convert the time from seconds to minutes and then to hours. There are 60 seconds in a minute, so the cockroach covers: 1.5 centimeters/second * 60 seconds/minute = 90 centimeters/minute. There are 60 minutes in an hour, so the cockroach covers: 90 centimeters/minute * 60 minutes/hour = 5400 centimeters/hour. Therefore, the cockroach would cover 5400 centimeters or 54 meters in an hour.
Suns distance in light years from us?
The sun is too close to us to be measured in light years; it is 8 light-minutes away.
What unit would you use to measure time to run a race?
The answer depends on the distance. Marathons are measured in hours and minutes, sprint distances in hundredths of a second.
