Parallax is the apparent change in position of an object when you look at it from different angles. Astronomers often us parallax to measure distances to nearby stars. This method can be used to determine stars' distances up to 400 light-years from Earth.

∙ 12y agoWe measure the movement of stars to study their motion within galaxies, determine their distances from Earth, and investigate their spectral shifts to learn about their composition and temperature. Studying the movement of stars also helps scientists understand the dynamics of galaxies and the evolution of the universe.
Satellites are used to measure the movement of plate by radiation.

One method to measure the distance to nearby stars directly is through stellar parallax. This involves observing a star from two different points in Earth's orbit around the Sun, and measuring the apparent shift in the star's position. The amount of shift allows astronomers to calculate the star's distance based on the geometry of the Earth-Sun-star triangle.

To measure the distance of stars you have to measure by light years.
All stars can be used to tell which direction you are travelling in as the movement of the earth is in a consistant direction, allowing you to compare your movement with the direction that the stars are travelling in.
Because they cannot visit stars and measure their sizes with a tape measure!

Answer #1:no=================Answer #2:Yes.Another answer: The primary use of triangulation may not be to measure the distance of stars, but the method which is used to measure the distance of close stars is primarily triangulation.

As far as I know, there is no measure of movement of air, but if you really are persistent, you can use balloons.
the actual movement of the stars through the backdrop of other stars is one answer
