  2. Orders of magnitude (length) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(length)

    109 Gm (0.7 au) – distance between Venus and the Sun; 149.6 Gm (93.0 million mi; 1.0 au) – average distance between the Earth and the Sun – the original definition of the astronomical unit; 199 Gm (1.3 au) – diameter of Rho Persei, an asymptotic giant branch star, fusing carbon into neon in a shell surrounding an inert core.

  3. ISO metric screw thread - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_metric_screw_thread

    A metric ISO screw thread is designated by the letter M followed by the value of the nominal diameter D (the maximum thread diameter) and the pitch P, both expressed in millimetres and separated by a dash or sometimes the multiplication sign, × (e.g. M8-1.25 or M8×1.25).

    Examples include a showerhead with flow rate of 1.75 gpm (6.61 lpm) at high water pressure and 1.45 gpm (5.48 lpm) at low pressure, or a showerhead with three pressure compensated flow rates (by non-removable pressure compensator) with options of 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 gpm (1.9, 3.8, 5.7 lpm).

  5. Sea level rise - Wikipedia

    A large difference between the two was the addition of SSP1-1.9 to AR6, which represents meeting the best Paris climate agreement goal of 1.5 °C (2.7 °F). In that case, the likely range of sea level rise by 2100 is 28–55 cm (11– 21 + 1 ⁄ 2 in).

    Spot-5 Satellite Athens as seen by the SPOT 5 satellite in 2002. SPOT (French: Satellite Pour l’Observation de la Terre, [1] lit. "Satellite for observation of Earth") is a commercial high-resolution optical Earth imaging satellite system operating from space.

  7. Hail - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hail

    Between 10,000 ft (3,000 m) and 20,000 ft (6,100 m), 60% of hail is still within the thunderstorm, though 40% now lies within the clear air under the anvil. Below 10,000 ft (3,000 m), hail is equally distributed in and around a thunderstorm to a distance of 2 nmi (3.7 km).

  8. Fuel economy in aircraft - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_economy_in_aircraft

    The payload fraction of modern twin-aisle aircraft is 18.4% to 20.8% of their maximum take-off weight, while single-aisle airliners are between 24.9% and 27.7%. An aircraft weight can be reduced with light-weight materials such as titanium , carbon fiber and other composite plastics if the expense can be recouped over the aircraft's lifetime.

  9. Usage share of web browsers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_web_browsers

    This bias is caused by the differences in the percentage of tracked hits in the sample, and the percentage of global usage tracked by third party sources. This difference is caused by the heavier levels of market usage. [13] Statistics from the United States government's Digital Analytics Program (DAP) do not represent world-wide usage patterns ...
