Distance is a numerical description of how far apart objects are. In physics or everyday discussion, distance may refer to a physical length, or an estimation based on other criteria (e.g. "two counties over"). In mathematics, a distance function or metric is a generalization of the concept of physical distance. A metric is a function that behaves according to a specific set of rules, and provides a concrete way of describing what it means for elements of some space to be "close to" or "far away from" each other.

In most cases, "distance from A to B" is interchangeable with "distance between B and A".

How do they determine the distance of visibility?
Q. In foggy weathers I hear they report that the distance of visibility is somewhat like 200m. How do they determine the distance? Does it imply that I can see nothing beyond the distance and see everything clearly within the distance?
Asked by peterpan - Fri Dec 18 18:36:44 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. According to the US DOE (1st link below), visibility is "The greatest horizontal distance in a given direction at which it is just possible to see and identify with the unaided eye (a) in the daytime, a prominent dark object against the sky at the horizon, and (b) at night, a moderately intense light source" The last link below discusses visibility measurement at US airports--an automated process of measuring average air clarity and converting it into a sight-distance equivalent.

A. Astronomers calculated it to be 78 light years. They might have used any of the Technics like parallax, standard candle, variable stars etc to find the distance.

Quotes

  • Yon foaming flood seems motionless as ice; Its dizzy turbulence eludes the eye, Frozen by distance.
  • By this time, like one who had set out on his way by night, and travelled through a region of smooth or idle dreams, our history now arrives on the confines, where daylight and truth meet us with a clear dawn, representing to our view, though at a far distance, true colours and shapes.
  • Life is like a landscape. You live in the midst of it but can describe it only from the vantage point of distance.
    • Charles Lindbergh, as quoted in Lindbergh: Flight's Enigmatic Hero (2002) by Von Hardesty
