elongasyon

Turkish - English

Definition of elongasyon in Turkish English dictionary

elongation

Removal to a distance; withdrawal; a being at a distance; distance

The angular distance of a planet from the sun; as, the elongation of Venus or Mercury

The fractional increase in length of a material stressed in tension When expressed as a percentage of the original length, it is called percent elongation

The act of lengthening, or the state of being lengthened; protraction; extension

The angular separation between the Sun and a solar system object as viewed by an observer (usually on the Earth)

the increase in length of a specimen during a tensile test, expressed in units of length

Increase in length caused by a tensile force and expressed numerically as a fraction or percentage of the initial length

The Elongation of a planet is its angular separation between it and the sun as seen from the observer's position (usually Earth!)

the quality of being elongated

That which lengthens out; continuation

the act of lengthening something an addition to the length of something the quality of being elongated

an addition to the length of something

The angle between a planet (or other body) and the Sun, as measured from Earth The maximum elongation for a superior planet is 180 degrees, this is known as opposition For inferior planets maximum elongation is always less than 90 degrees Maximum elongation is the best time to observe the inferior planets and opposition is the best time to observe the superior planets

The angular distance between the Sun and any other solar system body, usually the Earth, expressed in degrees The term Greatest Elongation is applied to the inner planets, Mercury and Venus It is the maximum elongation from the Sun At Greatest Elongation, the planet will appear 50% phase

The increase in length of a wire or cable cause by longitudinal tension

The difference in the celestial longitudes of the Sun and a planet; the Sun-Earth-planet angle Eastern elongations appear east of the Sun and are visible in the evening; correspondingly, western elongations of planets occurs when they are visible in the morning An elongation of zero degrees is called conjunction (aligned with the Sun); one of 180° is called opposition (planet is overhead at midnight); and one of 90° is called quadrature (overhead at sunrise or sunset)

When, as viewed from the earth, an inferior planet attains its greatest angular distance from the sun, it is said to be at either western or eastern elongation

Angular distance of a celestial object from the sun in the sky In standard ephemerides, this is usually denoted by the Greek letter epsilon (or by the abbreviation "Elong ") A celestial (usually solar-system) object's "phase angle" is the elongation of the earth from the sun, as would be seen by an observer on that third celestial object
