16.6 NOTES How do astronomers measure distance? Objective
... Most astronomers have found that distances to stars are so great that the numbers are too large to work with easily. For example, Proxima Centauri is the closest star to earth other than the Sun, and is 40,000,000,000,000 km from Earth. Special units are used to measure distances in space. A light y ...
