1. Size; extent; dimensions: to determine the magnitude of an angle.
2. Great importance or consequence: affairs of magnitude.
3. Greatness of size or amount.
4. Moral greatness: magnitude of mind.
5. Astronomy.
In mathematics:
- Magnitude (mathematics), the relative size of a mathematical object.
- Magnitude (vector), a term for the size or length of a vector.
- Scalar (mathematics), a quantity defined only by its magnitude.
- Euclidean vector, a quantity defined by both its magnitude and its direction.
- Order of magnitude, the class of scale having a fixed value ratio to the preceding class.
In astronomy:
- Magnitude (astronomy), a measure of brightness and brightness differences used in astronomy.
- Apparent magnitude, the apparent brightness of a celestial object as observed from Earth.
- Absolute magnitude, the brightness of a celestial object corrected to a standard luminosity distance.
- Photographic magnitude, the brightness of a celestial object corrected for photographic sensitivity, symbol mpg
- Magnitude of eclipse or geometric magnitude, the size of the eclipsed part of the Sun during a solar eclipse or the Moon during a lunar eclipse.
As an earthquake unit of measure:
- Richter magnitude scale,a measure of the energy of an earthquake.
- Moment magnitude scale, an alternative to the Richter scale for measuring earthquakes.

- You cannot visit the Eden Project without being amazed at the sheer magnitude of it all.
- There is a great increase in the number and magnitude of earthquakes, many centered in the localities of the wars and fighting.

Get the Magnetic Abs mug.1. A physical property of something which only exists on earth, the magnetation of something can an apparently be taken and used to stop the rotation of the earth, allowing an individual to then "get off" of the earth.
2. Also, if gathered in large quantities, magnetation can make even the simplest of tasks very difficult or impossible to perform.

me: how would you stop the earth?
friend: well you take the magnetation and then you do stuff with it and you stop the earth and get off
kid: this is way too hard
teacher: maybe theres too much magnetation

Get the stuck magneto mug.When a person has a lot of tattoo work, usually as full sleeve and commonly done in a traditional or neo-traditional style, where everything is a separate piece and not integrated together with gaps of blank skin between each piece.
"I want to get a sleeve started but I've decided that I want it to go together, instead of being like all these refrigerator magnets that I already got going on here."
