time quantity A dimension distinguishing past, present, and future. In relativity, time is portrayed as a geometrical dimension, analogous to the dimensions of space.

delay time time Time lapse between the time a signal (e.g., a radar beam) is propagated out to a distant object and the time it is received after the object bounces it back.
