  2. Scale height - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_height

    The earth atmosphere's scale height is about 8.5 km, as can be confirmed from this diagram of air pressure p by altitude h: At an altitude of 0, 8.5, and 17 km, the pressure is about 1000, 370, and 140 hPa, respectively.

  3. Reference atmospheric model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_atmospheric_model

    The increase in altitude necessary for P or ρ to drop to 1/e of its initial value is called the scale height: H = R T M g 0 {\displaystyle H={\frac {RT}{Mg_{0}}}} where R is the ideal gas constant, T is temperature, M is average molecular weight, and g 0 is the gravitational acceleration at the planet's surface.

  4. Miniature model (gaming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miniature_model_(gaming)

    Scale height of figures in 1:60 and 1:72 scale. Historically the size of miniatures was described in absolute scale in various different systems of measurement, most commonly in metric and English units. A 28mm miniature means that the size of the miniature will be 28mm from the feet of the mini to the chosen reference point.

  5. List of scale model sizes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_scale_model_sizes

    There has been a "scale creep" over the years as manufacturers produce more-imposing figures, leading to a current designation of "28mm" for the larger pieces. 1:72: 1 ⁄ 6 in: 4.233 mm: Aircraft models: At 1 inch in this scale = 6 feet (man's height) in the real world. Aircraft, science fiction, space non fiction, figures, vehicles, and ...

A scale or balance is a device used to measure weight or mass.

  8. 1:32 scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1:32_scale

    It is a common scale for aircraft models and for figure modeling, where it is called 54 mm scale, from the height of the human figure. 1:32 was used for equipment to match 54 mm toy soldiers for miniature wargaming and was common in scale military modeling such as tanks and armored cars until it was largely replaced by 1:35 scale.
