The distance of closest approach of two objects is the distance between their centers when they are externally tangent. The objects may be geometric shapes or physical particles with well-defined boundaries. The distance of closest approach is sometimes referred to as the contact distance. For the simplest objects, spheres, the distance of closest approach is simply the sum of their radii. For non-spherical objects, the distance of closest approach is a function of the orientation of the objects, and its calculation can be difficult. The maximum packing density of hard particles, an important problem of ongoing interest, depends on their distance of closest approach. The interactions of particles typically depend on their separation, and the distance of closest approach plays an important role in determining the behavior of condensed matter systems. (Wikipedia).
What is the Distance to the Moon?
In this short explainer, Universe Today publisher Fraser Cain demonstrates just how far away the Moon really is, and explains the methods scientists use to discover its distance. Did you know the Moon is slowly drifting away from us? --------- The Moon is such a familiar object in the sk

Skylight: Mars's Closest Approach In 15 Years
Every few years Earth passes Mars in its orbit around the Sun. On July 31, 2018, the distance between Earth and Mars will be the shortest it's been since 2003—the red planet won't come this close again until 2035. Why will these neighboring planets be so close to each other, and what can w

k-NN 4: which distance function?
[http://bit.ly/k-NN] The nearest-neighbour algorithm is sensitive to the choice of distance function. Euclidean distance (L2) is a common choice, but it may lead to sub-optimal performance. We discuss Minkowski (p-norm) distance functions, which generalise the Euclidean distance, and can a

http://www.teachastronomy.com/ The astronomical unit is defined as the mean distance between the Earth and the Sun. It has to be defined as the mean because the orbit is elliptical by a couple of percent. The astronomical unit is 150 million kilometers or 98 million miles. This sets the
