Distance [dis-tuh ns] – the extent or amount of space between two things‚ points‚ lines‚ etc. When most people hear or see the word distance‚ the first thought that comes into their head is space.

They will be reminded of the distance they have mentally between themselves and said person. Distance can have a different meaning for everyone

was to investigate the effect of varying the distance (cm) of the Elodea plant from the light source at (5‚ 15‚ 25‚ 35 and 45 (cm)) (±0.05) on the photosynthetic rate by counting the number of oxygen bubbles rising up the test tube per minute (bubbles min^(-1)). The hypothesis was supported because as the light intensity increased‚ the rate at which oxygen bubbles rising to the top of the test tube also increased – for example‚ at the closest distance of 5 cm‚ the rate of photosynthesis was at its
