    α - RA, right ascension, if the Greek letter does not appear, á letter will appear. δ - Dec, declination, if the Greek letter does not appear, ä letter will appear. P or P orb or T - orbital period; a - semi-major axis; b - semi-minor axis; q - periapsis, the minimum distance; Q - apoapsis, the maximum distance; e - eccentricity; i ...

  3. Photon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photon

    The "time" axis gives the angular frequency (rad⋅s −1) and the "space" axis represents the angular wavenumber (rad⋅m −1). Green and indigo represent left and right polarization. In empty space, the photon moves at c (the speed of light) and its energy and momentum are related by E = pc, where p is the magnitude of the momentum vector p.

    also called the magnetic field density or magnetic induction tesla (T), or equivalently, weber per square meter (Wb/m 2) capacitance: farad (F) heat capacity: joule per kelvin (J⋅K −1) constant of integration: varied depending on context speed of light (in vacuum) 299,792,458 meters per second (m/s) speed of sound

    The OpenType font format has the feature tag "mgrk" ("Mathematical Greek") to identify a glyph as representing a Greek letter to be used in mathematical (as opposed to Greek language) contexts. The table below shows a comparison of Greek letters rendered in TeX and HTML. The font used in the TeX rendering is an italic style.

  6. Speed of light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_of_Light

    Einstein used V in his original German-language papers on special relativity in 1905, but in 1907 he switched to c, which by then had become the standard symbol for the speed of light. [8] [9] Sometimes c is used for the speed of waves in any material medium, and c 0 for the speed of light in vacuum. [10]

    The minimum speed that must be achieved for a free, non-propelled object to escape from the gravitational influence of a massive body, i.e. to achieve an infinite distance from it; more generally, escape velocity is the speed at which the sum of an object's kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy is equal to zero.

  8. Astronomical symbols - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astronomical_symbols

    The written symbols for Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn have been traced to forms found in late Greek papyrus texts. [9] The symbols for Jupiter and Saturn are identified as monograms of the corresponding Greek names, and the symbol for Mercury is a stylized caduceus. [9]

  9. Fine-structure constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fine-structure_constant

    c is the speed of light (299 792 458 m⋅s −1 ‍ [8]); ε 0 is the electric constant ( 8.854 187 8188 (14) × 10 −12 F⋅m −1 ‍ [ 9 ] ). Since the 2019 revision of the SI , the only quantity in this list that does not have an exact value in SI units is the electric constant (vacuum permittivity).
