WHAT DOES RADIAL VELOCITY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

radial velocity

Radial velocity

Radial velocity is the velocity of an object in the direction of the radius. In other words, it is its speed straight towards or away from another object. In astronomy, radial velocity most commonly refers to the spectroscopic radial velocity. The spectroscopic radial velocity is the radial component of the velocity of the source at emission and the observer at observation, as determined by spectroscopy. Astrometric radial velocity is the radial velocity as determined by astrometric observations.

Definition of radial velocity in the English dictionary

The definition of radial velocity in the dictionary is the component of the velocity of an object, esp a celestial body, directed along a line from the observer to the object.
