Orders of magnitude (speed)
To help compare different orders of magnitude, the following list describes various speed levels between approximately 2.2×10−18 m/s and 3.0×108 m/s (the speed of light). Values in bold are exact.
Microscopic scale
The microscopic scale (from Ancient Greek μικρός (mikrós) 'small', and σκοπέω (skopéō) 'to look (at); examine, inspect') is the scale of objects and events smaller than those that can easily be seen b
Orders of magnitude (probability)
This page lists events in order of increasing probability, grouped by orders of magnitude. These probabilities were calculated given assumptions detailed in the relevant articles and references. For e
Macroscopic scale
The macroscopic scale is the length scale on which objects or phenomena are large enough to be visible with the naked eye, without magnifying optical instruments. It is the opposite of microscopic.
Orders of magnitude (area)
This page is a progressive and labelled list of the SI area orders of magnitude, with certain examples appended to some list objects.
Orders of magnitude (magnetic field)
This page lists examples of magnetic induction B in teslas and gauss produced by various sources, grouped by orders of magnitude. Note:
* Traditionally, magnetizing field H, is measured in amperes pe
Cosmic View
Cosmic View: The Universe in 40 Jumps is a 1957 book by Dutch educator Kees Boeke that combines writing and graphics to explore many levels of size and structure, from the astronomically vast to the a
Orders of magnitude (illuminance)
To help compare different orders of magnitude, the following list describes various source of lux, which is measured in lumens per square metre.
Orders of magnitude (force)
The following list shows different orders of magnitude of force. Since weight under gravity is a force, several of these examples refer to the weight of various objects. Unless otherwise stated, these
Order of magnitude
An order of magnitude is an approximation of the logarithm of a value relative to some contextually understood reference value, usually 10, interpreted as the base of the logarithm and the representat
Orders of magnitude (frequency)
The following list illustrates various frequencies, measured in hertz, according to decade in the order of their magnitudes, with the negative decades illustrated by events and positive decades by aco
Power of 10
A power of 10 is any of the integer powers of the number ten; in other words, ten multiplied by itself a certain number of times (when the power is a positive integer). By definition, the number one i
Leading-order term
The leading-order terms (or corrections) within a mathematical equation, expression or model are the terms with the largest order of magnitude. The sizes of the different terms in the equation(s) will
Orders of magnitude (numbers)
This list contains selected positive numbers in increasing order, including counts of things, dimensionless quantities and probabilities. Each number is given a name in the short scale, which is used
Orders of magnitude (charge)
This article is a progressive and labeled list of the SI charge orders of magnitude, with certain examples appended to some list objects.(This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy partic
Orders of magnitude (bit rate)
An order of magnitude is generally a factor of ten. A quantity growing by four orders of magnitude implies it has grown by a factor of 10000 or 104. However, because computers are binary, orders of ma
Orders of magnitude (time)
An order of magnitude of time is usually a decimal prefix or decimal order-of-magnitude quantity together with a base unit of time, like a microsecond or a million years. In some cases, the order of m
Orders of magnitude (power)
This page lists examples of the power in watts produced by various sources of energy. They are grouped by orders of magnitude from small to large.
Orders of magnitude (data)
An order of magnitude is usually a factor of ten. Thus, four orders of magnitude is a factor of 10,000 or 104. This article presents a list of multiples, sorted by orders of magnitude, for units of in
Orders of magnitude (temperature)
Most ordinary human activity takes place at temperatures of this order of magnitude. Circumstances where water naturally occurs in liquid form are shown in .
Powers of Ten (film)
The Powers of Ten films are two short American documentary films written and directed by Charles and Ray Eames. Both works depict the relative scale of the Universe according to an order of magnitude
Orders of magnitude (radiation)
Recognized effects of higher acute radiation doses are described in more detail in the article on radiation poisoning. Although the International System of Units (SI) defines the sievert (Sv) as the u
Orders of magnitude (mass)
To help compare different orders of magnitude, the following lists describe various mass levels between 10−59 kg and 1052 kg. The least massive thing listed here is a graviton, and the most massive th
