Difference between Gravitational wave and Orders of magnitude (length)

Gravitational wave vs. Orders of magnitude (length)

Gravitational waves are the disturbance in the fabric ("curvature") of spacetime generated by accelerated masses and propagate as waves outward from their source at the speed of light. The following are examples of orders of magnitude for different lengths.
