  2. Sun - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun

    The Sun is 1.4 million kilometers (4.643 light-seconds) wide, about 109 times wider than Earth, or four times the Lunar distance, and contains 99.86% of all Solar System mass. The Sun is a G-type main-sequence star that makes up about 99.86% of the mass of the Solar System. [26]

  3. Correlation function (statistical mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correlation_function...

    One common correlation function is the radial distribution function which is seen often in statistical mechanics and fluid mechanics. The correlation function can be calculated in exactly solvable models (one-dimensional Bose gas, spin chains, Hubbard model) by means of Quantum inverse scattering method and Bethe ansatz. In an isotropic XY ...

  4. Correlation function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correlation_function

    A correlation function is a function that gives the statistical correlation between random variables, contingent on the spatial or temporal distance between those variables. [1] If one considers the correlation function between random variables representing the same quantity measured at two different points, then this is often referred to as an ...

  5. Correlation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correlation

    The correlation coefficient is +1 in the case of a perfect direct (increasing) linear relationship (correlation), −1 in the case of a perfect inverse (decreasing) linear relationship (anti-correlation), [5] and some value in the open interval (,) in all other cases, indicating the degree of linear dependence between the variables. As it ...

  6. Correlation function (astronomy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correlation_function...

    The spatial correlation function () is related to the Fourier space power spectrum of the galaxy distribution, (), as = ⁡ () The n -point autocorrelation functions for n greater than 2 or cross-correlation functions for particular object types are defined similarly to the two-point autocorrelation function.

  7. Solar activity and climate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_activity_and_climate

    One historical long-term correlation between solar activity and climate change is the 1645–1715 Maunder minimum, a period of little or no sunspot activity which partially overlapped the "Little Ice Age" during which cold weather prevailed in Europe. The Little Ice Age encompassed roughly the 16th to the 19th centuries.

  8. Correlation (disambiguation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correlation_(disambiguation)

    Correlation (geology) is the scientific study of lithological or chronological equivalence between geological phenomena in different regions. Cross-correlation , a measure of similarity between two signals, used e.g. in seismology, to analyse seismic waves to determine the location of earthquakes

  9. Mass–luminosity relation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass–luminosity_relation

    The relationship is represented by the equation: = where L ⊙ and M ⊙ are the luminosity and mass of the Sun and 1 < a < 6. [2] The value a = 3.5 is commonly used for main-sequence stars. [ 3 ] This equation and the usual value of a = 3.5 only applies to main-sequence stars with masses 2 M ⊙ < M < 55 M ⊙ and does not apply to red giants ...
