This approach forms part of the cosmic distance ladder for measuring distances to extragalactic objects. They can also help move heavy objects over shorter distances. These are used for communication over varying distances. Seven disciplines in varying distances were contested. The scenes were later broken up into multiple shots photographed from different distances and angles. They dissipated before travelling transoceanic distances. Tape measures are often used for measurement of smaller distances. They may also have difficulty measuring distances. However, none of these types of "resemblance" respect distances and angles, even approximately. Herds travel long distances to obtain water. All projections distort distances and directions, and each projection distributes those distortions differently. Equines are adapted for running and traveling over long distances. Still, it is stronger than gravity over short distances. Their top speed over short distances is . This allows trams to operate without overhead lines for short distances.
