To help compare orders of magnitude, this section lists lengths between 100 and 1,000 kilometers (10 5 and 10 6 meters). Conversions A distance of 100 kilometers is equal to about 62 miles (or 62.13711922 miles).
Chernoff faces, invented by applied mathematician, statistician, and physicist Herman Chernoff in 1973, display multivariate data in the shape of a human face. The individual parts, such as eyes, ears, mouth, and nose represent values of the variables by their shape, size, placement, and orientation.
