#dimension the magnitude of something in a particular direction (especially length or width or height)
supertype: #magnitude the property of relative size or extent; "they tried to predict the magnitude of the explosion"
subtype: #thickness__thicknes the dimension through an object as opposed to its length or width
subtype: #tenuity__thinness__slenderness__slendernes relatively small dimension through an object as opposed to its length or width: "the tenuity of a hair"; "the thinness of a rope"
subtype: #length.distance the linear extent in space from one end to the other; the longest horizontal dimension of something that is fixed in place; "the length of the table was 5 feet"
subtype: #circumference the length of the closed curve of a circle
subtype: #diameter__diam the length of a straight line passing through the center of a circle and connecting two points on the circumference
subtype: #bore__caliber__calibre diameter of a tube or gun barrel
subtype: #windage bore-to-projectile difference in diameter
subtype: #radius__r the length of a line segment between the center and circumference of a circle or sphere
subtype: #semidiameter the apparent radius of a celestial body when viewed as a disc from the earth
subtype: #radius_of_curvature the radius of the circle of curvature; the absolute value of the reciprocal of the curvature of a curve at a given point
subtype: #longness.length spatial extent
subtype: #lengthiness__lengthines__prolongation amount or degree or range to which something extends: "the wire has an extension of 50 feet"
subtype: #elongation.longness the quality of being elongated
subtype: #shortness__shortnes the property of being of short spatial extent
subtype: #length__distance size of the gap between two places; "the distance from New York to Chicago"; "he determined the length of the shortest line segment joining the two points"
subtype: #leg.distance (nautical) the distance traveled by a sailing vessel on a single tack
subtype: #arm's_length__arm'slength a distance sufficient to exclude intimacy
subtype: #light_time__lighttime distance measured in terms of the speed of light (or radio waves); "the light time from Jupiter to the sun is approximately 43 minutes"
subtype: #skip_distance the shortest distance that permits radio signals (of a given frequency) to travel from the transmitter to the receiver by reflection from the ionosphere
subtype: #wingspan__wingspread linear distance between the extremities of an airfoil
subtype: #wingspread distance between the tips of the wings (as of a bird or insect) when fully extended
subtype: #altitude the perpendicular distance from the base of a geometric figure to opposite vertex (or side if parallel)
subtype: #width__breadth the extent of something from side to side
subtype: #wideness__broadness__broadnes the property of having width
subtype: #beam.wideness breadth amidships
subtype: #heaviness__heavines__thicknes used of a line or mark
subtype: #narrowness the property of being narrow
subtype: #fineness__thinness the property of being very narrow or thin; "he marvelled at the fineness of her hair"
subtype: #height__tallness the vertical dimension of extension; distance from the base of something to the top
subtype: #highness__loftiness the condition of being high or lofty
subtype: #lowness__lownes the condition of being low; lacking height
subtype: #squatness__squatnes__stubbines the property of being short and broad
subtype: #truncation__shortness__shortnes the property of being truncated or short
subtype: #third_dimension__thirddimension the dimension whereby a solid object differs from a two-dimensional drawing of it
subtype: #fourth_dimension__time the fourth coordinate that is required (along with three spatial dimensions) to specify a physical event
