greatness of magnitude

greatness of magnitude

State of being ample; extent of surface or space; largeness of dimensions; size.

Largeness, in a figurative sense; breadth; abundance; fullness.

Of extent of capacity or intellectual powers.

Of extent of means or resources.

The arc of the horizon between the true east or west point and the center of the sun, or a star, at its rising or setting. At the rising, the amplitude is eastern or ortive: at the setting, it is western, occiduous, or occasive. It is also northern or southern, when north or south of the equator.

The horizontal line which measures the distance to which a projectile is thrown; the range.

The extent of a movement measured from the starting point or position of equilibrium; - applied especially to vibratory movements.

An angle upon which the value of some function depends; - a term used more especially in connection with elliptic functions.

The arc of the horizon between the true east or west point and the foot of the vertical circle passing through any star or object.

Extension in space, especially width.

Largeness, extent.

Largeness; abundance.

Largeness; scope; fulness.

Largeness or extent. The arc of the horizon intercepted between the east or west point and the centre of the sun or a star at its rising or setting. Magnetical amplitude, the arc of the horizon between the sun or a star at rising or setting, and the east or west point of the horizon by the compass. Amplitude of the range, in projectiles, the line which measures the horizental distance a body has moved.

Largeness or extent of anything; abundance.

Largeness, fulness: widest range or extent.

In physics, the distance between the extreme limits of an oscillation or vibration. Thus, the a. of vibration of a pendulum is the chord of the arc through which it oscillates; the a. of vibration of a wave is the distance from the crest to the trough of the wave.

Of the pulse, its fullness, i. e., the extent of dilatation of the artery at each impulse of the heart. [Lat.]

n. State of being ample; largeness of dimensions; - extent of capacity or intellectual powers; - extent of means or resources; - an arc of the horizon intercepted between the true east or west point and the centre of the sun or a star at its rising or setting; - the horizontal line subtending the path of a body thrown; - the arc of the horizon between the sun or a star, at its rising or setting, and the east or west point of the horizon, by the compass.

Largeness, greatness; copiousness, abundance.
