Difference between Earth and General relativity

Earth vs. General relativity

Earth is the third planet from the Sun and the only astronomical object known to harbor life. General relativity (GR, also known as the general theory of relativity or GTR) is the geometric theory of gravitation published by Albert Einstein in 1915 and the current description of gravitation in modern physics.

Similarities between Earth and General relativity

Earth and General relativity have 13 things in common (in Unionpedia): Acceleration, Accretion (astrophysics), Center of mass, Gravity, Light-year, Milky Way, Planet, Precession, Semi-major and semi-minor axes, Solar System, Stellar evolution, Sun, Universe.

Acceleration

In physics, acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object with respect to time.

Accretion (astrophysics)

In astrophysics, accretion is the accumulation of particles into a massive object by gravitationally attracting more matter, typically gaseous matter, in an accretion disk.

Center of mass

In physics, the center of mass of a distribution of mass in space is the unique point where the weighted relative position of the distributed mass sums to zero, or the point where if a force is applied it moves in the direction of the force without rotating.

Gravity

Gravity, or gravitation, is a natural phenomenon by which all things with mass or energy—including planets, stars, galaxies, and even light—are brought toward (or gravitate toward) one another.

Light-year

The light-year is a unit of length used to express astronomical distances and measures about 9.5 trillion kilometres or 5.9 trillion miles.

Milky Way

The Milky Way is the galaxy that contains our Solar System.

Planet

A planet is an astronomical body orbiting a star or stellar remnant that is massive enough to be rounded by its own gravity, is not massive enough to cause thermonuclear fusion, and has cleared its neighbouring region of planetesimals.

Precession

Precession is a change in the orientation of the rotational axis of a rotating body.

Semi-major and semi-minor axes

In geometry, the major axis of an ellipse is its longest diameter: a line segment that runs through the center and both foci, with ends at the widest points of the perimeter.

Earth and General relativity Comparison

Earth has 582 relations, while General relativity has 366. As they have in common 13, the Jaccard index is 1.37% = 13 / (582 + 366).
