Answer: It is not an easy thing to measure the distances to objects in the universe since these objects are usually very far away. We can't just run out there with a ruler! To measure distances in the universe, we will need to construct what is commonly referred to as a cosmic distance ladder.he links below will take you to descriptions of various common methods. 1  Radar-measuring distances in our solar system. 2  Parallax-measuring distances to nearby stars. 3  Cepheids-measuring distances in our Galaxy and to nearby galaxies.
Measure your stride before setting up your pedometer. Measure the distance from START to END in inches. Calculate your stride length by dividing the total distance that you measured by 10 then divide that number by 12. Stride length = Total distance in inches Ã· 10 (# of strides) Ã· 12 (inches per foot).
