koncentriskt

Koncentriskt is a Swedish word that translates to "concentric" in English. It describes a geometric property where two or more objects share the same center point. This concept is commonly applied to circles, spheres, and cylinders. For example, concentric circles are circles of different radii that all have the same midpoint. Similarly, concentric spheres share a single central point. In everyday life, examples of concentricity can be observed in features like the rings of a tree trunk or the target in archery. The term is also used metaphorically to describe layers or structures that are arranged around a common core or focus. When elements are described as concentrically arranged, it implies a systematic outward progression from a central origin.
