Deduce of it the distance between the two active lava flows.

We conclude this section by showing how it is possible to compute the minimum distance of a code from its parity check matrix.

Since the speed of sound is fairly stable, distance can be deduced.

Once that was accomplished, we would know the distances to the other planets.

Since radio waves propagate at the speed of light, we can assume the distance from the satellite.

Using a formula discovered by Harvard astronomer Henrietta Leavitt, he calculated the distance of these new stars.

By observing how bright such an object appears astronomers can work out the distance — more distant objects appear fainter.

If this could be achieved, then the distances of the other known planets could be worked out based on their relative orbits.

If this could be achieved, then the distances of the other planets could be worked out, based on their orbits.

By measuring a Cepheid's pulse rate, astronomers can work out how luminous the star is, and by comparing that absolute brightness with the one we see, we can infer how far away the star is from us.

Point speed is very accurate... [and] can be used to infer the distance that a moving object has travelled between two position estimates.

Depending on the model universe that we adopt and space expansion rate (Hubble constant), we can deduce the distance.

Point speed is very accurate... [and] can be used to infer the distance that a moving object has travelled between two position estimates.

By comparing its true diameter to its apparent size on the sky, researchers can then pinpoint the lensing galaxy’s distance from us.
