Year — A year (from Old English gēar) is the orbital period of the Earth moving around the Sun. For an observer on Earth, this corresponds to the period it takes the Sun to complete one course throughout the zodiac along the ecliptic. In astronomy, the… … Wikipedia
Gaussian gravitational constant — Carl Friedrich Gauss expressed the gravitational constant in units of the solar system rather than SI units. The benefit is that the motion of the planets can be accurately described, without exact knowledge of the scale of the solar system or… … Wikipedia
year — noun /jiə,jɜː,jiɹ/ a) The time it takes the Earth to complete one revolution of the Sun (between 365.24 and 365.26 days depending on the point of reference). We moved to this town a year ago. b) The time it takes for any planetary b … Wiktionary
Gaussian process — A Gaussian process is a stochastic process which generates samples over time { X t } t ∈ T such that no matter which finite linear combination of the X t one takes (or, more generally, any linear functional of the sample function X t ), that… … Wikipedia
Gaussian surface — A Gaussian surface is a closed two dimensional surface through which a flux or electric field is to be calculated. The surface is used in conjunction with Gauss s law (a consequence of the divergence theorem), allowing one to calculate the total… … Wikipedia
Gaussian curvature — In differential geometry, the Gaussian curvature or Gauss curvature of a point on a surface is the product of the principal curvatures, κ 1 and κ 2, of the given point. It is an intrinsic measure of curvature, i.e., its value depends only on how… … Wikipedia
Sidereal year — The sidereal year is the time taken for the Sun to return to the same position with respect to the stars of the celestial sphere. It is the orbital period of Earth, equal to 365.25636042 mean solar days (31,558,149.540 seconds), that is… … Wikipedia
Large deviations of Gaussian random functions — A random function ndash; of either one variable (a random process), or two or more variables(a random field) ndash; is called Gaussian if every finite dimensional distribution is a multivariate normal distribution. Gaussian random fields on the… … Wikipedia
