  2. Spherical coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_coordinate_system

    the radial distance r along the line connecting the point to a fixed point called the origin; the polar angle θ between this radial line and a given polar axis; [a] and; the azimuthal angle φ, which is the angle of rotation of the radial line around the polar axis. [b] (See graphic regarding the "physics convention".)

  3. Radial distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radial_distance

    Radial distance, typically denoted r or ρ , is the distance from the origin to a point along the radial dimension in a: Polar coordinate system;

  4. Cylindrical coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cylindrical_coordinate_system

    The radial distance ρ is the Euclidean distance from the z-axis to the point P. The azimuth φ is the angle between the reference direction on the chosen plane and the line from the origin to the projection of P on the plane. The axial coordinate or height z is the signed distance from the chosen plane to the point P.

  5. Geometric terms of location - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_terms_of_location

    Radial (solid and colored lines) and circumferential roads (dashed and gray lines) in Metro Manila's road network. Axial – along the center of a round body, or the axis of rotation of a body; Radial – along a direction pointing along a radius from the center of an object, or perpendicular to a curved path.

  6. Tangential speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tangential_speed

    Tangential speed and rotational speed are related: the faster an object rotates around an axis, the larger the speed. Tangential speed is directly proportional to rotational speed at any fixed distance from the axis of rotation. [1] However, tangential speed, unlike rotational speed, depends on radial distance (the distance from the axis).

  7. Composition (visual arts) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composition_(visual_arts)

    The Art of Painting by Jan Vermeer. The term composition means "putting together". It can be thought of as the organization of the elements of art according to the principles of art. Composition can apply to any work of art, from music through writing and into photography, that is arranged using conscious thought.

  8. Proper motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proper_motion

    The first is the direction of the proper motion on the celestial sphere (with 0 degrees meaning the motion is north, 90 degrees meaning the motion is east, (left on most sky maps and space telescope images) and so on), and the second is its magnitude, typically expressed in arcseconds per year (symbols: arcsec/yr, as/yr, ″/yr, ″ yr −1) or ...

  9. Elements of art - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elements_of_art

    Lines are marks moving in a space between two points whereby a viewer can visualize the stroke movement, direction, and intention based on how the line is oriented. [1] [2] Lines describe an outline, capable of producing texture according to their length and curve. [3]
