    In this sense, mass changes in any system are explained simply if the mass of the energy added or removed from the system, are taken into account. The formula implies that bound systems have an invariant mass (rest mass for the system) less than the sum of their parts, if the binding energy has been allowed to escape the system after the system ...

    The atomic mass ( ma or m) is the mass of an atom. Although the SI unit of mass is the kilogram (symbol: kg), atomic mass is often expressed in the non-SI unit dalton (symbol: Da) – equivalently, unified atomic mass unit (u). 1 Da is defined as 12 of the mass of a free carbon-12 atom at rest in its ground state.

    A.1) where L o {\displaystyle L_{\mathrm {o} }} is the path length at zenith (i.e., normal to the Earth's surface) at sea level . The air mass number is thus dependent on the Sun's elevation path through the sky and therefore varies with time of day and with the passing seasons of the year, and with the latitude of the observer. Calculation Atmospheric effects on optical transmission can be ...
