radius

Crashes are most likely when radii are small, so engineers follow guidelines based on the design speed to make sure curves are sufficiently gentle.

At 40 solar masses, this star is about 500 times the radius of the sun and 500,000 times brighter.

Just like superelevation, the radius of a curve has a significant impact on safety—the tighter the turn, the more centripetal force needed to keep a vehicle in its lane.

Pistol star is 25 solar masses, but 300 times the radius of the sun, a blue hypergiant, aptly named for its energetic bye star light.

If not carefully designed, these bends can become tighter than the minimum bending radius of the cable, exceeding the allowable stresses within the material.

The thermal radiation from the explosion travels at the speed of light and immediately burns everything within a radius of about 1500 kilometers.

In 1900, that area became a National Park, defined as a circle six miles in radius from the summit of the mountain, plus a few other interesting parts on the edge.

For example, we calculated the radius from the mass using the Schwarzschild equation which for the sake of simplicity assumes black holes are perfectly round and don’t spin: a kind of black hole that doesn’t really exist.

But the JerryRigEverything test has revealed that the weakest part that you could get scratched or dinged is gonna be around the tightest corner radii, like around the camera plateau.
