2. Optical path length - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_path_length

   Optical path length. In optics, optical path length ( OPL, denoted Λ in equations), also known as optical length or optical distance, is the length that light needs to travel through a vacuum to create the same phase difference as it would have when traveling through a given medium. It is calculated by taking the product of the geometric ...

3. Interstellar travel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstellar_travel

   Interstellar travel is the hypothetical travel of spacecraft from one star system, solitary star, or planetary system to another. Interstellar travel is expected to prove much more difficult than interplanetary spaceflight due to the vast difference in the scale of the involved distances. Whereas the distance between any two planets in the ...

5. Taxicab geometry - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxicab_geometry

   In taxicab geometry, the lengths of the red, blue, green, and yellow paths all equal 12, the taxicab distance between the opposite corners, and all four paths are shortest paths. Instead, in Euclidean geometry, the red, blue, and yellow paths still have length 12 but the green path is the unique shortest path, with length equal to the Euclidean ...

6. Geographical distance - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geographical_distance

   Geographical distance or geodetic distance is the distance measured along the surface of the Earth, or the shortest arch length. The formulae in this article calculate distances between points which are defined by geographical coordinates in terms of latitude and longitude. This distance is an element in solving the second (inverse) geodetic ...

   Freight is measured in mass-distance. A simple unit of freight is the kilogram-kilometre (kgkm), the service of moving one kilogram of payload a distance of one kilometre. Payload quantity. kilogram (kg), the standard SI unit of mass. tonne (t), a non-SI but an accepted metric unit, defined as 1,000 kilograms.
