    Properties. PG5 has a molecular mass of about 200 MDa or 200,000,000 g/mol. It has roughly 20 million atoms and a diameter of roughly 10 nm. Its length is up to a few micrometers. [3] It is similar in size to a tobacco mosaic virus with comparable length and diameter. PG5 was shown to be resistant against attempts to flatten its structure.

  4. Cool flame - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cool_flame

    A cool flame is a flame having a typical temperature of about 400 °C (752 °F). [1] In contrast to an ordinary hot flame, the reaction is not vigorous and releases little heat, light, or carbon dioxide. Cool flames are difficult to observe and are uncommon in everyday life, but they are responsible for engine knock – the undesirable, erratic ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stellar_classification

    In astronomy, stellar classification is the classification of stars based on their spectral characteristics. Electromagnetic radiation from the star is analyzed by splitting it with a prism or diffraction grating into a spectrum exhibiting the rainbow of colors interspersed with spectral lines. Each line indicates a particular chemical element ...
