    11 cm = 1.1 dm – length of an average potato in the US; 13 cm = 1.3 dm – body length of a Goliath birdeater; 15 cm = 1.5 dm – approximate size of largest beetle species; 19 cm = 1.9 dm – length of a banana; 26.3 cm = 2.6 dm – length of average male human foot; 29.98 cm = 2.998 dm – distance light in vacuum travels in one nanosecond

  3. Ball (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball_(mathematics)

    A closed n-ball of radius r is the set of all points of distance less than or equal to r away from x. In Euclidean n-space, every ball is bounded by a hypersphere. The ball is a bounded interval when n = 1, is a disk bounded by a circle when n = 2, and is bounded by a sphere when n = 3.

  4. Volume of an n-ball - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_of_an_n-ball

    Volumes of balls in dimensions 0 through 25; unit ball in red. In geometry, a ball is a region in a space comprising all points within a fixed distance, called the radius, from a given point; that is, it is the region enclosed by a sphere or hypersphere. An n-ball is a ball in an n-dimensional Euclidean space.

  5. 8th parallel north - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8th_parallel_north

    The 8th parallel north is a circle of latitude that is 8 degrees north of the Earth's equatorial plane. It crosses Africa, the Indian Ocean, South Asia, Southeast Asia, the Pacific Ocean, Central America, South America, and the Atlantic Ocean. The parallel defines part of the border between Somalia and Ethiopia.

  6. Magnetic declination - Wikipedia

    For an example refer to the sectional chart slightly west of Winston-Salem, North Carolina in March 2021, magnetic north is 8 degrees west of true north (Note the dashed line marked 8°W). [ 12 ] When plotting a course, some small aircraft pilots may plot a trip using true north on a sectional chart (map), then convert the true north bearings ...

    Degrees north (also styled °N) may refer to latitude at or above the equator. It may also refer to: 55 Degrees North, 2004–2005 British television drama series; 71 ...

  8. Range of a projectile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Range_of_a_projectile

    North Korea has developed a gun known in the West as Koksan, with a range of 60 km using rocket-assisted projectiles. (And see Trajectory of a projectile .) Such cannons are distinguished from rockets , or ballistic missiles , which have their own rocket engines, which continue to accelerate the missile for a period after they have been launched.

  9. Angular diameter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_diameter

    The angular diameter, angular size, apparent diameter, or apparent size is an angular separation (in units of angle) describing how large a sphere or circle appears from a given point of view. In the vision sciences , it is called the visual angle , and in optics , it is the angular aperture (of a lens ).
