Curvature

Seeing as the curvature is smaller than unity, once the curve leaves the unit circle it will not come back.

One of Einstein's ideas is that objects cause the space around them to curve. He thought that large objects, like the Sun, curve the space around them more than small objects do. Objects moving through space follow the curvature.

The curvature of the Earth was first photographed in 1931.

As every portrait painter knows, the slightest change in the shape of eyebrows, the curvature of lips or a crease in the forehead can alter the expression of a person's face — and affect how someone else responds.

The backrest should conform to the natural curvature of your spine, and provide adequate lumbar support.

In the nocturnal firmament, the moon glides, an argent vessel traversing the empyrean expanse, its silvery curvature a luminous arc across the celestial canvas.

In a spacetime, the Riemann curvature tensor has 256 components, but fortunately they don't all have to be directly calculated thanks to some symmetries.

Constructional costs are kept to a minimum by the admissibility of heavy grades and sharp curvature.

In the first of the movie's many striking images, we share his majestic view from the top, the curvature of the planet and the glow of the horizon brilliantly reflected in his helmet.

A turtle drawing an ellipse would have to turn more per distance traveled to get around its “pointy” sides than to get around its flatter top and bottom. This notion of how “pointy something is,” expressed as the ratio of angle turned to distance traveled, is the intrinsic quantity that mathematicians call curvature.
