The diameter of a sphere is the longest path through the centre from one side to another. In a Jovial planet like Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus or Neptune though, the atmospheres are so thick that people may talk about an 'effective diameter' which includes their atmosphere, because it would be so inaccurate to estimate where the actual surface is, and give the propper diameter.

What is the Effective diameter of a screw thread?

Oh, dude, the effective diameter of a screw thread is basically the imaginary diameter that represents the size of the thread where the width of the thread and the depth of the thread are equal. It's like the Goldilocks of diameters, not too big, not too small, just right for threading stuff together. So, yeah, that's the effective diameter for ya.


What is the diameter of a blast hole and the effective diameter of a blast?

Holes for blasting vary in size from an inch to several inches depending on the application. Depth will vary across applications as well. The effective diameter of a blast will depend on the size of the charge, the depth in which it is placed and the type of material that is being blasted. And all of this will vary as widely as the application. In commercial mining applications, it is unusual to make a single hole and pack a single charge to make a shot. This ups the challenge to estimate the amount of material that will be displaced, but the professionals who do this blasting can make these estimates.


Is aperture of a spherical mirror equals to its diameter?

No, the aperture of a spherical mirror is not necessarily equal to its diameter. The aperture refers to the effective opening through which light can enter and be reflected by the mirror, which can be smaller than the overall diameter of the mirror. In many cases, the aperture is defined by the area of the mirror that is used for focusing light, while the diameter is simply the total width across the mirror.

What is the diameter of a circle that is equal to pi?

If you mean the diameter of a circle with area pi, then the diameter is 2. If you mean the diameter of a circle with circumference pi, then the diameter is 2. If you mean the diameter of a circle with diameter pi, then the diameter is pi. If you mean the diameter of a circle with radius pi, then the diameter is 2pi.
