For comparison, Sirius has an absolute magnitude of 1. 4 which is greater than the Sun's absolute visual magnitude of 4. 83 ( it actually serves as a reference point ).

For comparison, a Roman 1st BC century catapult using stones of 6. 55 kg fired with a kinetic energy of 16, 000 joules, while a mid 19th century 12 pound cannon firing projectiles of 4. 1 kg fired the projectile with a kinetic energy of 240, 000 joules.

For comparison purposes that is approximately the same size as Aylesbury, Carlisle, Guildford or Scunthorpe urban areas.

For comparison, Internet penetration in the Ukraine was 33. 7 %, in Romania 35. 5 %, Russia 42. 8 %, and Serbia 55. 9 %.

For the Bandanese, on the other hand, although they welcomed another competitor purchaser for their spices, the items of trade offered by the Dutch — heavy woollens, and damasks, unwanted manufactured goods, for example — were usually unsuitable in comparison to traditional trade products.

For this reason, the history of Cairo during Ottoman times is often described as inconsequential, especially in comparison to other time periods.

For example, Darwinism may be used to refer to Darwin's proposed mechanism of natural selection, in comparison to more recent mechanisms such as genetic drift and gene flow.

For comparison, treating of cotton during a typical U. S. growing season requires the same amount of chemical as roughly 1, 700 homes.

For example, it may be more cost-efficient to obtain the desired level of performance by using a cluster of several low-end computers, in comparison with a single high-end computer.

For comparison, London shipped 18, 727, 230 tons ( 16 billion kg ), and New York shipped 20, 390, 953 tons ( 18 billion kg ).

For comparison:

For comparison, a mouse with a normal amount of adipose tissue is shown on the right.

For example, there is a tradition in many newsgroups and other Internet discussion forums that once such a comparison is made, the thread is finished and whoever mentioned the Nazis has automatically lost whatever debate was in progress.

For comparison, the energy density of TNT is 4. 7 megajoules per kilogram, and the energy density of gasoline is 47. 2 megajoules per kilogram.

For example, take the following comparison of execution time of computer programs:

For comparison, the average was 73. 3 days in Latin America and 16. 3 days in OECD countries.

For comparison, the other two general conic sections, the ellipse and the parabola, derive from the corresponding Greek words for " deficient " and " comparable "; these terms may refer to the eccentricity of these curves, which is greater than one ( hyperbola ), less than one ( ellipse ) and exactly one ( parabola ), respectively.

For comparison, the most efficient small four-stroke motors are around 43 % thermal efficiency ( SAE 900648 ); size is an advantage for efficiency due to the increase in the ratio of volume to surface area.

For comparison, consider a similar example written in Java-based pseudocode:

For comparison, a capacitor stores energy in an electric field, and a resistor does not store energy but rather dissipates energy as heat.

For comparison, cooking, smoking, salting etc.

For comparison, milk heat pasteurization is not being alleged to be a method " to cover up poor food quality "; consequently, food irradiation should not be accused to serve such criminal purposes.

For comparison, woven garments stretch mainly along one direction ( the bias ) and are not very elastic, unless they are woven from stretchable material such as spandex.

( For comparison, a sphere is an orientable surface with no boundary.

For approximately two to three weeks on either side of November 30, Antares is not visible in the night sky, because it is near conjunction with the Sun ; this period of invisibility is longer in the Northern Hemisphere than in the Southern Hemisphere, since the star's declination is significantly south of the celestial equator.

For example, the Sun is north of the celestial equator for about 185 days of each year, and south of it for about 180 days.

For example, westerly flows between MJO-induced areas of low pressure may cause cyclonic circulations north and south of the equator.

For example a group at MIT concluded that the planet Mesklin in Hal Clement's 1953 novel Mission of Gravity would have had a sharp edge at the equator, and a Florida high-school class calculated that in Larry Niven's 1970 novel Ringworld the topsoil would have slid into the seas in a few thousand years.

For the normal Mercator projection ( on the ellipsoid ) this function defines the spacing of the parallels: if the length of the equator on the projection is E ( units of length or pixels ) then the distance, y, of a parallel of latitude φ from the equator is

For example the pure qubit state would lie on the equator of the sphere, on the positive y axis.

For right ascension, the primary direction is known as the vernal equinox or the first point of Aries, which is the place on the celestial sphere where the Sun crosses the celestial equator from south to north at the March equinox.

For practical purposes the plane of the equator and the plane of the ecliptic maintain a constant inclination to each other of approximately 23. 5 °.

For an object with an eccentric orbit but no axial tilt, the analemma would be a straight east-west line along the celestial equator.

For example, this projection sends the equator to the circle of radius 2 centered at the origin.

For this reason, a star position read from a star atlas or catalog based on a sufficiently old equinox and equator cannot be used without corrections, if reasonable accuracy is required.

For example, the Solar storm of 1859 struck the Earth with such intensity that the northern lights could be seen as far south as Rome, approximately 42 ° north of the equator.

For receiving stations located within +/− 10 degrees of the geomagnetic equator, equatorial E-skip can be expected on most days throughout the year, peaking around midday local time.

For example, the tendon of the superior oblique inserts behind the equator of the eyeball in the frontal plane, so contraction of the muscle also tends to abduct the eyeball ( turn it outward ).

For the corresponding definition in terms of spheres, define the sum f + g of maps f, g: S < sup > n </ sup > → X to be composed with h, where is the map from S < sup > n </ sup > to the wedge sum of two n-spheres that collapses the equator and h is the map from the wedge sum of two n-spheres to X that is defined to be f on the first sphere and g on the second.

For transport along the equator, the pendulum will not precess.

For instance, when the ITCZ is situated north of the equator, the southeast trade wind changes to a southwest wind as it crosses the equator.

For example, the map on the right needs to be extended to a diffeomorphism of the sphere by using a “ cap ” that wraps around the equator.

For example, simplifying the shape of the Earth ( the geoid ) to a sphere, the meridians and the equator are great circles on its surface, while non-equatorial lines of latitude are small circles.

For gaseous / fluid bodies, such as stars and gas giants, the period of rotation varies from the equator to the poles due to a phenomenon called differential rotation.

For receiving stations located within +/− 10 degrees of the geomagnetic equator, equatorial E-skip can be expected on most days throughout the year, peaking around midday local time.

For still other types of X-ray pulsars, the companion star is a Be star that rotates very rapidly and apparently sheds a disk of gas around its equator.
