Distance is a scalar quantity that refers to how much ground an object has covered during its motion. Displacement is a vector quantity that refers to how far out of place an object is; it is the objects overall change in position. This is not the final definition.
Report Abuse. The unit of measurement of distance in space is the distance that light could travel over a period of one year at the rate of 186000 mile per second. because distances of such immense magnitutude are very long and difficult to write and pronounce in terms of figures ,as tromers have adopted such a scale.ow if your question is how to measure a distance between object just by looking at a light coming from it, it may done by looking at half-life time of photons. Somebody technical at particle physics may give a detail answer on this.
