In mathematics, you might have noticed superscript, i.e. a little digit that is placed above and to the right of any number. The large the number is the difficult is to read, compare and operate and due to this reason, superscripts are used to convert larger numbers into the smallest form. This is done with the help of powers and exponents, that are the basic concept of mathematics but are also juxtaposed by many students. Exponents represent the number of times the base is multiplied. On the … [Read more...]
Difference Between Latitude and Longitude
Latitude alludes to the horizontal lines that represent the distance of any point, north or south of the equator, its direction is east to west. On the other hand, longitude implies the vertical lines indicating the distance of any point, east or west of the prime meridian, its direction is north to south. Latitudes are also known as parallels while longitudes are termed as meridians. On earth's surface, locations are determined by the two reference lines known as latitude and longitude. In … [Read more...]
Difference Between Map and Globe
As we know that the shape of the earth is not perfectly spherical because it is a bit flattened at both the north and south poles and bulge in the centre. Every person is curious to know, how our earth looks like in the universe, but there are only handful of persons who can travel space and see it live. One can have an idea of earth's appearance, with a globe. A globe is a miniature form of the earth, which represents distances, directions, continents, oceans, countries, etc. A globe is … [Read more...]
Difference Between Factors and Multiples
Mathematics is a game of numbers, where we study number, its types and the concepts relating to it. Arithmetic is that branch of mathematics which focuses on properties and manipulation of numbers. Factors and multiples are two key concepts studied together in arithmetic, at the elementary level. A factor is a number that leaves no remainder behind after it divides the specific number. On the contrary, multiple is a number reached by multiplying a given number by another. While factors of a … [Read more...]
Difference Between Balanced and Unbalanced Forces
Balanced force implies the force which does not change the object's state of motion. On the contrary, unbalanced forces are the one that results in the change in object's state of motion. Have you ever observed that whenever you want to move an object, it is either pushed or pulled? In physics, the motion exerted (push or pull) to the object, is termed as force, which arises due to the object's interaction with another one. It is capable of changing the object's magnitude of velocity, the … [Read more...]
Difference Between Port and Harbour
Port can be understood as a place, where loading and unloading of ships and boats are done. The term port is often juxtaposed with harbour, which implies a place along a coast where ships or boats can take shelter if the atmospheric conditions are not well for sailing. While ports are man-made, harbours can be natural or man-made. Many times they serve similar purposes relating to administration, development, industry and commerce. And due to this reason, there is always a buzz, whenever … [Read more...]
Difference Between Mass and Density
When you look around, you will find an array of objects with different size, shape and texture. These objects are made up of matter, which is present in three forms i.e. solid, liquid and gas. All three states of matter possess two things in common, which are mass and volume. Mass is the quantity of matter while volume is the measure of space occupied by the object. The ratio of these two aspects of the matter is known as density. The measurement unit of mass is a kilogram, whereas the … [Read more...]
Difference Between Uniform and Non-uniform Motion
The basic difference between uniform and non-uniform motion is that the former represents the motion in which the moving body covers the same distance in the same time, but in the case of latter, the body travels unequal distances at the same time. There are millions of objects surrounding us, some of them stay at rest while others are in motion. In our day to day life, you have noticed the motion of different living and non-living things that are on the move like birds, fishes, cars, buses, … [Read more...]
Difference Between Weather and Climate
Weather plays a significant role in our lives, as most of our day to day activities are planned according to the forecasting made by the meteorological department for a particular day. It is the intricate phenomenon, which demonstrates changes over very short periods of time, in the atmospheric condition at a given region. On the contrary, climate indicates the weather pattern of a particular place, taken over a long time. Often perceived as being the one and the same thing, these two terms … [Read more...]
Difference Between Nuclear Fission and Nuclear Fusion
The process in which heavy nucleus is broken into tiny nuclei, is called as nuclear fission. On the other extreme, nuclear fusion is defined as the reaction wherein lighter atoms come together and form a heavy nucleus. With the rapid industrialisation, our demand for energy is increasing in the same ratio, because of the change in the way we live and do our work, as we are greatly dependent on machines to do our work, which consumes energy. It implies the strength and power that we require to … [Read more...]
