However, the book On the Sizes and Distances of the Sun and Moon, which has long been ascribed to Aristarchus, says that he calculated the distance to the sun to be between 18 and 20 times the distance to the Moon, whereas the true ratio is about 389. 174.

Distances between the city and some of the major cities in Romania:

Distances in hyperspace may be smaller than or geometrically inverse in relation to real space ; it may provide a shortcut between two points in real space, thus effectively increasing the ship's speed by reducing distance travelled rather than time taken ; perhaps the speed of light in hyperspace is not a speed barrier as it is in real space.

Distances between pieces of protection can range from three to forty feet or more, although most often the distance is between six and twelve feet.

Robert Calvert had initially written and performed the lyrics on ' Distances Between Us ' by Adrian Wagner in 1974.

* Distances: shortest distance to India: approx.

Distances can be safely placed into a separate alphabet ; since a distance only occurs just after a length, it cannot be mistaken for another kind of symbol or vice-versa.

In 1778, He published his method of reducing Lunar Distances for computing the longitude, still regarded as the best of several similar mathematical procedures for navigation and position-fixing in pre-chronometer days ; and used, for example, by Lewis and Clarke to measure their latitude and longitude during their exploration of the North-western United States.

Distances for one hop propagation can be as close as or up to.

Many leading scientists including Newton and Huygens doubted that such a clock could ever be built and had more optimism for astronomical observations ( such as the Method of Lunar Distances ).
