Answers
There are a variety of tools available to measure distance. First - it depends… what kind of distances will you measure.
For very small distances there are micrometers. They come in sizes and separate types for interns and external measurements.
Moving up we go to rulers, tape measures, yard sticks and similar handheld instruments. There are electronic devices to this as well—laser devices.
There are a variety of surveying tools that measure distances between outdoor points. These require geometric or trigonometric calculations. Modern versions include computer tools to do this.
To measure distances traveled, the oldest method is countining paces or steps. The term mile comes from the Roman legions’ marches. One thousands paces is a mile (milia is Latin for thousand). Today we have fit bits and apps to count or steps.
At sea we depended on the stars, compasses, and clocks to find our way. The first sailors made rutters, directions they took and their observations. These were like gold to navigators. Eventually, as enough information became available, full charts were made.
When the charts became accurate, charting tools were developed. A protractor, parallel ruler and technical compass help plot course and a divider measure distances using the charts standard.
Road vehicles (and off-road for that matter) use odometers. They basically count the revolution of wheels.
Now we have GPS satellites and apps built into our cars and phones and myriad other devices to gives distances between any two points on the planet.
We can also use various radio measuring techniques, like radar, to measure and map distant location and areas.
We navigate by the stars and planets when we leave Earth. Computers help provide precise calculations to determine how to get ment, to the moon, equipment to Mars and satellites beyond our solar system.
As you can see each type of distance has its own requirements and the tools develop and improve over time. There is no single way to measure... it
