Description

Distance is a numerical or occasionally qualitative measurement of how far apart objects or points are. In physics or everyday usage, distance may refer to a physical length or an estimation based on other criteria. Since spatial cognition is a rich source of conceptual metaphors in human thought, the term is also frequently used metaphorically to mean a measurement of the amount of difference between two similar objects or a degree of separation. Most such notions of distance, both physical and metaphorical, are formalized in mathematics using the notion of a metric space.

தூரம் என்பது இரு புள்ளிகளுக்கிடையிலான இடைவெளியைக் குறிக்கும். நடைமுறைக் கணிதப் பயன்பாட்டில் தூரம் என்பது இரு பொருட்களுக்கிடையிலான அல்லது புள்ளிகளுக்கிடையிலான பௌதீக நீளமாகும். எடுத்துக்காட்டாக இரு நாடுகளுக்கிடையிலான தூரம். யாதாயினுமொரு பயணமொன்றில் பயணப் பாதையினூடக இடம்பெற்ற மொத்த நகர்வைத் தூரம் எனக் குறிப்பிடலாம்.
