A Euclidean motion has the form $E(x)=Ax+b$ with $A\in O(3)$. It preserves Euclidean distance, angles, and all extrinsic geometric quantities transformed with their orientations.

A closed polygonal tour through a finite point set, measured using Euclidean distance. Write $\mathrm{TS}(X)$ for the minimum length over cyclic visiting orders. A two-point tour traverses its segment twice; a one-point tour has length zero. The triangle inequality allows repeated visits to be shortcut when estimating this minimum.

For a uniformly emitting spherical body of radius $R$ at Euclidean distance $d\gg R$, integration of its specific intensity over the apparent solid angle gives $f_{\lambda }=\pi I_{\lambda }(R/d{)}^2$. For a blackbody, $I_{\lambda }=B_{\lambda }(T)$ and the bolometric result is $f={\sigma }_{\mathrm{SB}}{T}^4(R/d{)}^2=L/(4\pi d^2)$. A grey emissivity factor multiplies this expression; isothermality alone does not imply blackbody emission.
