Stellar distances are usually expressed in what units called?

1.a simple structure more resistant to these lateral forces is to tie the walls, floor, roof, and foundations into a rigid box that holds together when shaken by a quake. 2. shock absorbers reduce the magnitude of shock waves and help buildings slow down. 3.during the earthquake, the isolators vibrate while the structure itself remains steady. This effectively helps to absorb seismic waves and prevent them from traveling through a building. 4.The first method involves placing dampers at each level of a building between a column and beam. Each damper consists of piston heads inside a cylinder filled with silicone oil.

hope this helps a little
