magnitudiluvut
Magnitudiluvut, often translated as magnitude numbers or scale numbers, is a Finnish term used to describe a set of standardized scales for measuring the intensity or size of various phenomena. These scales are typically logarithmic, meaning that each step on the scale represents a multiplication of the measured quantity by a constant factor, rather than a simple addition. This logarithmic nature allows for the representation of a wide range of values in a manageable numerical system.
The most widely known example of a magnitudiluku is the Richter scale, used to measure the magnitude
