Mile vs Nautical Mile Miles and nautical miles are two units used for measuring length and distances. Both have older origins compared to the SI units, and they are not consistent units. Miles Mile, also called the statute mile or the land mile is a unit for measuring length in the imperial system of […]
Difference Between Rocket and Missile
Rocket vs Missile When discussing about rockets the impression is that they are high tech and complicated machinery used in defence and space exploration. Even these are often related to almost fantastical feats in human history; rockets have both simple and ancient origins. Today they are used in many forms to obtain range, high […]
Difference Between Spectrometer and Spectrophotometer
Spectrometer vs Spectrophotometer Intensive scientific research in different fields sometimes requires identifying compounds in living organisms, minerals, and perhaps the composition of stars. The chemically sensitive nature, difficulty of pure extraction, and distance make it almost impossible to identify the compounds properly in each case shown above by ordinary chemical analysis. Spectroscopy is a […]
Difference Between Rectangle and Rhombus
Rectangle vs Rhombus Rhombus and rectangle are quadrilaterals. The geometry of these figures were known to man for thousands of years. The subject is explicitly treated in the book “Elements” written by Greek mathematician Euclid. Parallelogram Parallelogram can be defined as the geometric figure with four sides, with opposite sides parallel to each other. […]

Difference Between Median and Average (Mean)
Median vs Average (Mean) Median and mean are measures of central tendency in descriptive statistics. Often Arithmetic mean is considered as the average of a set of observations. Therefore, here mean is considered as the average. However, average is not the arithmetic mean at all the times. Average The arithmetic mean is the sum […]
Difference Between M4V and MP4 and MKV
MP4 vs MKV, M4V vs MP4, M4V vs MKV MP4, M4V, and MKV are popular video file formats used in computers. MP4 and M4V are similar while MKV is completely different in structure. Conceptually they share the same principles at the elementary levels. MP4 MP4 is a file container format developed by the Moving […]
Difference Between MPEG and MP4 and AVI
MPEG vs MP4 vs AVI MP4, MPEG, and AVI are digital video file container formats used in computers. The MP4 and MPEG are standards developed by the ISO and AVI was developed by Microsoft for the Windows Operating system based on Resource Interchange File Format (RIFF). MPEG and AVI are relatively older file types […]
Difference Between MPEG2 and MPEG4
MPEG2 vs MPEG4 MPEG stands for the Moving Pictures Experts Group, an organization cooperating with International Standards Organization (ISO) for developing new standards for digital audio and video. Its first standard MPEG-1 was released in 5 parts during the period from 1993 to 1999. This standard led to all the modern digital audio/video compression […]
