Good. You shouldn't call it "measuring device",
because it is not.

Actually, dealing with any serious, advanced
terms is  out of the range of measuring devices,
physics and exact sciences in general. They're
too  primitive for that.

 The earth is at an exact distance from our sun.
 any closer it would burn up
any farther it would freeze.
 Doesn't that take some 'measuring device' to keep it just right????

No. All a  measuring device can do is
