Orders of magnitude (data)

Orders of magnitude is a way of comparing the scale or size of quantities by expressing them as powers of ten. Each order of magnitude represents a tenfold difference in value. For example, if one quantity is 10 times larger than another, it is said to be one order of magnitude larger. If it is 100 times larger, it is two orders of magnitude larger. This concept is especially useful in fields like science, mathematics, and data analysis for understanding vastly different scales of measurement or size.
