Definitions and quotes

Area
Area is the quantity that expresses the extent of a two-dimensional figure or shape, or planar lamina, in the plane. Surface area is its analog on the two-dimensional surface of a three-dimensional object. Area can be understood as the amount of material with a given thickness that would be necessary to fashion a model of the shape, or the amount of paint necessary to cover the surface with a single coat. It is the two-dimensional analog of the length of a curve (a one-dimensional concept) or the volume of a solid (a three-dimensional concept).
EU-funded scientists are working to improve short-term forecasts for direct solar radiation and coming cloudiness. Reliable estimations will greatly benefit the solar energy sector, leading to decreased costs and massive deployment of renewable energy technologies.
