Orders of magnitude are a way of comparing quantities by their scale or size, typically expressed as a power of ten. In this system, each order of magnitude indicates a tenfold increase or decrease in size. For example: - A difference of one order of magnitude (10^1) means that one quantity is 10 times larger or smaller than another. - A difference of two orders of magnitude (10^2) means that one quantity is 100 times larger or smaller than another.
