angular size
1Angular size redshift relation — The angular size redshift relation describes the relation between the angular size observed on the sky of an object of given physical size, and the objects redshift from Earth (which is related to its distance, d , from Earth). In a Euclidean… …
2Angular diameter — The angular diameter or apparent size of an object as seen from a given position is the “visual diameter” of the object measured as an angle. In the vision sciences it is called the visual angle. The visual diameter is the diameter of the… …
3Angular diameter distance — The angular diameter distance is a distance measure used in astronomy. The angular diameter distance to an object is defined in terms of the object s actual size, x, and heta the angular size of the object as viewed from earth. d A= frac{x}{… …
4Angular resolution — describes the resolving power of any image forming device such as an optical or radio telescope, a microscope, a camera, or an eye. Definition of terms Resolving power is the ability of the components of an imaging device to measure the angular… …
5Angular mil — An angular mil, also mil, is a unit of angle. All versions of the angular mil are approximately the same size as a trigonometric milliradian. Contents 1 History 2 Mathematical principle 3 Use …
6Angular momentum — For a generally accessible and less technical introduction to the topic, see Introduction to angular momentum. Classical mechanics Newton s Second Law …
7Angular momentum coupling — Coupling in science Classical coupling Rotational–vibrational coupling Quantum coupling Quantum mechanical coupling Rovibrational coupling Vibronic coupling Rovibronic coupling Angular momentum coupling …
8Angular distance — In mathematics (in particular geometry and trigonometry) and all natural sciences (including astronomy, geophysics, etc), the angular distance (angular separation, apparent distance, or apparent separation) between two point objects, as observed… …
9cosmos — /koz meuhs, mohs/, n., pl. cosmos, cosmoses for 2, 4. 1. the world or universe regarded as an orderly, harmonious system. 2. a complete, orderly, harmonious system. 3. order; harmony. 4. any composite plant of the genus Cosmos, of tropical… …
10Visual Angle Illusion — The visual angle, V degrees, subtended by a viewed object sometimes looks larger or smaller than its actual value, creating a visual angle illusion (V illusion).These V illusions have been explicitly described by many vision researchers,… …
