  2. Atmosphere of Earth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmosphere_of_Earth

    Total atmospheric mass is 5.1480×10 18 kg (1.135×10 19 lb), [42] about 2.5% less than would be inferred from the average sea level pressure and Earth's area of 51007.2 megahectares, this portion being displaced by Earth's mountainous terrain. Atmospheric pressure is the total weight of the air above unit area at the point where the pressure ...

  3. Numeral system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numeral_system

    A number has a terminating or repeating expansion if and only if it is rational; this does not depend on the base. A number that terminates in one base may repeat in another (thus 0.3 10 = 0.0100110011001... 2). An irrational number stays aperiodic (with an infinite number of non-repeating digits) in all integral bases.

  7. Dark matter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_matter

    The hypothesis of dark matter has an elaborate history. [18] [19] In the appendices of the book Baltimore lectures on molecular dynamics and the wave theory of light where the main text was based on a series of lectures given in 1884, [18] Lord Kelvin discussed the potential number of stars around the Sun from the observed velocity dispersion of the stars near the Sun, assuming that the Sun ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface-area-to-volume_ratio

    SA:V is used to explain the diffusion of small molecules, like oxygen and carbon dioxide between air, blood and cells, [3] water loss by animals, [4] bacterial morphogenesis, [5] organism's thermoregulation, [6] design of artificial bone tissue, [7] artificial lungs [8] and many more biological and biotechnological structures. For more examples ...
