Atmosphere of Earth

The atmosphere of Earth is composed of a layer of gas mixture that surrounds the Earth's planetary surface (both lands and oceans), known collectively as air, with variable quantities of suspended aerosols and particulates (which create weather features such as clouds and hazes), all retained by Earth's gravity.

Celsius

The degree Celsius is the unit of temperature on the Celsius temperature scale "Celsius temperature scale, also called centigrade temperature scale, scale based on 0 ° for the melting point of water and 100 ° for the boiling point of water at 1 atm pressure." (originally known as the centigrade scale outside Sweden), one of two temperature scales used in the International System of Units (SI), the other being the closely related Kelvin scale.

See Relative thermal index and Celsius

Dielectric

In electromagnetism, a dielectric (or dielectric medium) is an electrical insulator that can be polarised by an applied electric field.

See Relative thermal index and Dielectric

Dielectric withstand test

In electrical engineering, a dielectric withstand test (or pressure test, high potential or hipot test or insulation test) is an electrical safety test performed on a component or product to determine the effectiveness of its insulation.

See Relative thermal index and Dielectric withstand test

Impact (mechanics)

In mechanics, an impact is when two bodies collide.

See Relative thermal index and Impact (mechanics)

Plastic

Plastics are a wide range of synthetic or semi-synthetic materials that use polymers as a main ingredient.

See Relative thermal index and Plastic

Plastic film

Plastic film is a thin continuous polymeric material.

See Relative thermal index and Plastic film

Polymer

A polymer is a substance or material consisting of very large molecules linked together into chains of repeating subunits.

See Relative thermal index and Polymer

Strength of materials

The field of strength of materials (also called mechanics of materials) typically refers to various methods of calculating the stresses and strains in structural members, such as beams, columns, and shafts.

See Relative thermal index and Strength of materials

Thermal decomposition

Thermal decomposition, or thermolysis, is a chemical decomposition of a substance caused by heat.

See Relative thermal index and Thermal decomposition

UL (safety organization)

The UL enterprise is a global safety science company headquartered in Northbrook, Illinois, composed of three organizations, UL Research Institutes, UL Standards & Engagement and UL Solutions.
