WHAT DOES RADIUS VECTOR MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Position (vector)

In geometry, a position or position vector, also known as location vector or radius vector, is a Euclidean vector that represents the position of a point P in space in relation to an arbitrary reference origin O. Usually denoted x, r, or s, it corresponds to the straight line distance from O to P: The term "position vector" is used mostly in the fields of differential geometry, mechanics and occasionally in vector calculus. Frequently this is used in two-dimensional or three-dimensional space, but can be easily generalized to Euclidean spaces in any number of dimensions.

Definition of radius vector in the English dictionary
