Moisture advection is the horizontal transport of water vapor by the wind. Measurement and knowledge of atmospheric water vapor, or "moisture", is crucial in the prediction of all weather elements, especially clouds, fog, temperature, humidity thermal comfort indices and precipitation. Regions of moisture advection are... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=10414062 |
Moisture advection One can convert to more typical units in length such as mm by multiplying the density of liquid water and the correct length unit conversion factor. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=10414062 |
NGC 4605 is a dwarf barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Ursa Major, located at a distance of from the Milky Way. Physically it is similar in size and in B-band absolute magnitude to the Large Magellanic Cloud. It is a member of the M81 Galaxy Group, along with Messier 81 and Messier 101. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=10414274 |

Pair potential In physics, a pair potential is a function that describes the potential energy of two interacting objects. Examples of pair potentials include the Coulomb's law in electrodynamics, Newton's law of universal gravitation in mechanics, the Lennard-Jones potential and the Morse potential. Pair potentials are... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=10422831 |
NGC 5010 is a lenticular galaxy located about 140 million light years away, in the constellation Virgo. It is considered a "LIRG" (Luminous Infrared Galaxy). As the galaxy has few young blue stars and mostly red old stars and dust, it is transitioning from being a spiral galaxy to being an elliptical galaxy, with its s... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=10431374 |
