  3. Mean radius (astronomy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean_radius_(astronomy)

    Alternatively, the closely related mean diameter (), which is twice the mean radius, is also used. For a non-spherical object, the mean radius (denoted R {\displaystyle R} or r {\displaystyle r} ) is defined as the radius of the sphere that would enclose the same volume as the object. [ 1 ]

  4. Equivalent radius - Wikipedia

    US hat size is the circumference of the head, measured in inches, divided by pi, rounded to the nearest 1/8 inch. This corresponds to the 1D mean diameter. [1] Diameter at breast height is the circumference of tree trunk, measured at height of 4.5 feet, divided by pi. This corresponds to the 1D mean diameter.

  5. Diameter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diameter

    The longest diameter is called the major axis. Conjugate diameters are a pair of diameters where one is parallel to a tangent to the ellipse at the endpoint of the other diameter. The diameter of a circle is exactly twice its radius. However, this is true only for a circle, and only in the Euclidean metric.

    an object of diameter 1 AU (149 597 871 km) at a distance of 1 parsec (pc) Thus, the angular diameter of Earth's orbit around the Sun as viewed from a distance of 1 pc is 2″, as 1 AU is the mean radius of Earth's orbit. The angular diameter of the Sun, from a distance of one light-year, is 0.03″, and that of Earth 0.0003″. The angular ...

    The hydraulic diameter, D H, is a commonly used term when handling flow in non-circular tubes and channels. Using this term, one can calculate many things in the same way as for a round tube. Using this term, one can calculate many things in the same way as for a round tube.

    The Bohr radius is consequently known as the "atomic unit of length". It is often denoted by a 0 and is approximately 53 pm. Hence, the values of atomic radii given here in picometers can be converted to atomic units by dividing by 53, to the level of accuracy of the data given in this table.

  9. Roundness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roundness

    Having a constant diameter, measured at varying angles around the shape, is often considered to be a simple measurement of roundness.This is misleading. [3]Although constant diameter is a necessary condition for roundness, it is not a sufficient condition for roundness: shapes exist that have constant diameter but are far from round.
