The Amazing Universe: Distances in Space

The video explains how distances are measured on Earth using kilometers or miles and introduces the concept of measuring distances in space. For nearby objects like the Moon and Sun, kilometers are used, but for distant stars, light years are the standard unit. A light year is the distance light travels in one year, with light moving at 310,000 kilometers per second. The video also provides examples of star distances, such as Rigel being 910 light years away and Denna 1,830 light years away.
