magnitude
의미: The size, extent, or importance of something. In mathematics and physics, it refers to the numerical value or absolute size of a quantity, regardless of direction.
Magnitude is used across many disciplines: in astronomy it describes the brightness of a star, in seismology it measures earthquake strength, and in mathematics it refers to the length of a vector or the absolute value of a number. The phrase 'order of magnitude' denotes a tenfold difference and is commonly used to express approximate scale. It collocates with 'order of,' 'earthquake,' 'stellar,' and 'absolute.'
