He wants to design an experiment that will measure the distance to the Sun and other stars in kilometers. Why is Steve's idea for measuring distance flawed?

The distance will be too far to measure in kilometers. He will have to measure the distance in miles.

The distance will be too far to measure in kilometers. He will have to measure the distance in light years.

There is no way to correctly measure the distance between Earth, the Sun, and other stars.
