For distance‚ we primarily use light years‚ parsecs‚ and the astronomical unit. Even with these units of measurement there are subsets; parsecs can go to megaparsecs. Furthermore‚ mass varies from planet to planet due to the different gravitational pulls. Time also varies because rotations of planets are different; therefore‚ seconds‚ hours‚ and days are longer or shorter depending on where you are in the solar system. As stated before‚ humans commonly use light years‚ parsecs‚ and the astronomical

Hadar‚ also known as Beta Centauri‚ is the 10th brightest stars (11th as viewed from Earth). Hadar is a blue-white super giant in the constellation Centaurus (Cen). In about 4‚000 years‚ the motion of Alpha Centauri‚ who’s proper name is Rigel Kentaurus‚ will carry it close enough to Hadar that they will appear to be a magnificent double star. Because of the distance away from Earth that Alpha and Beta Centauri are (approximately 90 parsecs)‚ they will be an optical double. As they sit today‚ the
