Question

How does the distance between heavenly bodies is measured?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Astronomical units are usually used to measure distances within our solar system. For example, the planet Mercury is about 1/3 of an A.U. from the Sun, while the farthest planet, Pluto, is about 40 A.U. from the Sun (thats 40 times as far away from the Sun as the Earth is).

Answer 2

Answer: This answer is from my book, not from the website. Brainliest me because someone who answer you first copied it from the website.

Explanation: For distances within our solar system, or other solar systems, the common unit is the 'Astronomical Unit' (A.U.) 2. For most everything else, stars, galaxies etc..., the distance unit is the parsec (pc). This is a convenient unit when measuring distances to stars by triangulation (what astronomers call parallax).
