1) Angular distance from the north point eastward to the intersection of the celestial horizon with the vertical circle passing through the object and the zenith. 2) Directional bearing around the horizon, measured in degrees from north (0 degree.)
Industry:Astronomy
Decrease in the intensity of radiation, representing energy converted into excitation or ionization of electrons in the region through which the radiation travels. As contrasted with monochromatic scattering (in which reemission occurs in all directions at the same frequency), the inverse process of emission refers to radiation that is reemitted in general in all directions and at all frequencies.

Removal of material from a solid by heating, vaporization or collisions

Temperature measured on the Kelvin scale: 0 Kelvin = -273.15 degree Celsius. Absolute temperature is directly related to (kinetic) energy via the equation E = kBT, where kB is Boltzmann's constant. So, a temperature of 0 K corresponds to zero energy, and room temperature, 300 K = 27 degree, corresponds to an energy of 0.025 eV.
Industry:Astronomy
The lowest possible temperature, attained when a system is at its minimum possible energy. The Kelvin temperature scale sets its zero point at absolute zero (-273.15 degree on the Celsius scale, and -434.07 degree on the Fahrenheit scale.)
