### magnitude | dimension | height:

Human height
* is an example of a trait
  - one of the areas of study within anthropometry
* trait with complex genetic causes.

Parental height
* has a strong influence on the eventual height of their children.
* play a significant role in the height of a child.

### magnitude | dimension:

Length
* Some length is divided by length.
* comes into the body giving muscles space to work and joints freedom to function properly.
* equals meters.
* expresses the length of each link in the graph.
* fundamental measure
* is also a property of time
  - distance
  - extent
  - field length
* is how long it is
  - or short something is
  - hull length
  - important with age
  - one dimension and width is another dimension
  - phonemic for vowels, and each of the seven phonemes occurs short or long
  - physical properties
  - proportional to the size of the head
  - quantities
  - sections
* measures at meters
  - the distance between one point and another, or how far apart the two points are
* ranges from cms.
* refers to a cigar's length
  - the total length of all trails
* varies depending on animal species
+ Length, Length of Time: Physical quantity
  * Length is also a property of time. An amount of time has a length.
+ Ruler: Measuring tools
  * A 'ruler'A ruler is also called a 'rule'. is an instrument of measurement. Rulers measure length. Length is how long or short something is. Rulers can also be used as a straight edge to draw lines with.

### magnitude | dimension | length:

Bond length
* decreases from single to double to triple bonds.
* is the distance between the nuclei in a bond.

Day length
* determines flowering, bulb initiation, and maturation in certain crops.
* has an effect on reproduction in the buck and the doe.
* is detected by the pineal gland
  - the duration of the light period from sunrise to sunset

### magnitude | dimension | length:

Diameter
* Most diameters depend on size
  - measure at cms
* Some diameters correspond to surfaces.
* are length
  - straight lines
* classes -Classification of trees based on diameter outside bark measured at d.b.h.
* includes r
  - radii
* is length
* is the distance from one edge of the canopy to the other
  - largest chord of the circle
  - single most important factor in propeller calculations
  - thickness of the string
* is the width as measured in millimeters
  - of the contact lens as measured in millimeters
* refers to the width of the container as measured from outer wall to outer wall.
* works similarly to radius dimensioning.

### magnitude | dimension | length | diameter:

Aerodynamic diameter
* applies to the behavioral size of particles of aerosols.
* is used to define particles' size.

Wheel diameter
* is directly proportional to the thickness of the blade.
* plays an important part in stress-calculations for an axle.

### magnitude | dimension | length:

Elongation
* Most elongation accompanies plant growth.
* accompanies growth
* continues until the ribosome reaches a stop codon.
* decreases as strength and hardness increase.
* is addition
  - illnesses
* is the angle between the sun and a planet as seen by an observer on earth
  - angular distance between the moon and the sun
  - increase in length of a sample at the breaking point
* occurs through water uptake into the vacuoles.
* tells how inefficiently packed the chains are, relative to their optimum packing.
* type of deformation.

Focal length
* determines the size of the projected image.
* have an inverse relationship to both optical power and angle of view.
* is basically the measurement in millimeters from the lens to the sensor
  - the distance between the camera sensor and the center of the lens
* is the distance from the focal point to the lens
  - where the light is first bent till it meets in focus
  - measured from camera lens to film
