What do you measure in kilometres?
A kilometre is quite a long unit of measurement. For this reason you would use it to measure large things on earth. For example:The distance between citiesThe length of a coastlineHow far a train journey is
What would be a reasonable unit to use to measure the distance from earth to the moon?
Feet
What is defined as a location?
A location is the position which is usually measure in terms of a fixed point of reference, which is called the origin. In n-dimensional space the location may be defined in terms of distances from origin along orthogonal axes (n axes), or in terms of distance and direction (one measure of distance and n-1 angles). Location on the surface of a sphere, for example the earth, can be defined by only two angles (the latitude and longitude) and no distance because the distance is implied (radius of the earth).
How many tons does earth weigh?
its 5.927 sextillion metric tons
What is the distance from earth to the crab nebula?
The distance from Earth is about 6,500 light years (2000 parsecs).
What is a measurement that is exact as possible?
metric system as it is worked on calculation of the distance of earth from the sun. and use's that as a frame of reference. Kevin
Why did the Au is not used to measure distances on earth?
AU is not used to measure the distances on earth, because a astronomical unit is a unit of measurement equal to the distance between Earth and Sun. So that's why you cannot use Au for measure the distances on Earth.
What is the unit of measurement of the distances of the stars from the earth?
Light Year is unit for all astronomic distances
What measurement would you use to measure a large distance?
Light year is used to measure the stellar distances whereas miles and km is used to measure distance on Earth.
What is the metric unit for length and distance?
The metric unit for length and distance is the meter (m).
What is the distance from earth to moon in Square miles?
The average distance from Earth to the Moon is about 238,855 miles. This distance is not typically measured in square miles since it is a linear measurement, not an area measurement.
How do you find the actual distance between two points on Earth using graphic scale?
To find the actual distance between two points on Earth using a graphic scale, measure the distance between the two points on the map using the scale provided. Convert this measurement to actual distance by using the ratio scale (e.g., 1 cm = 100 km) provided on the map. Multiply the measured distance by the ratio to find the actual distance between the two points on Earth.
What measurement do scientists use for the distance between stars and Earth?
scientists use light-years to measure long distances in space. a light year, (abrviated ly) is the distance light can travel.
What is used when astronomers measure the distance from the sun to the earth?
Parallax is the method that astronomers use to measure the distance from the sun to the earth.
Which measure is not considered when measuring absolute magnitude?
Distance. Absolute magnitude is a measure of the intrinsic brightness of a star, independent of its distance from Earth.
What do you measure in kilometres?
A kilometre is quite a long unit of measurement. For this reason you would use it to measure large things on earth. For example:The distance between citiesThe length of a coastlineHow far a train journey is
What is the distance from earth to the sun in Celsius?
Celsius is a measure of temperature, not distance.
