  1. A trigonometric method of determining the position of a fixed point from the angles to it from two fixed points a known distance apart; useful in navigation.
  2. Since, point lights have position also, the distance from the surface to the light also affects the intensity. This is known as distance attenuation.
  3. In fact, a Levenshtein distance is also known as an edit distance.
  4. These algorithms are also known as DV ( distance vector ) algorithms.
  5. In fact, Hubble's law predicts that galaxies beyond a certain distance, known as the Hubble distance, recede faster than the speed of light.
