Microturbulence is a term primarily used in astrophysics and astronomy, specifically in the study of stellar atmospheres and the behavior of gases in space. It refers to small-scale, turbulent motions within a stellar atmosphere or in the interstellar medium that can affect the interpretation of spectral lines. In the context of a star's atmosphere, microturbulence is thought to be a form of turbulence that occurs on very small spatial scales, leading to localized and chaotic movements of gas.
