axial length of the eye. length of the eye, axial. The distance between the anterior and posterior poles of the eye. In vivo, it is measured either by ultrasonography or by partial coherence interferometry (PCI). These measurements represent the distance between the anterior pole and Bruch's membrane.
A planet's axial tilt is a measure of whether the planet is in prograde (the natural direction of rotation of most bodies in our solar system) or retrograde (the opposite, ie, from East to West) rotation. Tilt angle is measured relative to the orbital plane of a planet. A tilt between 1 to 90 degrees is considered prograde rotation (Earth's tilt is 23 degrees, in prograde rotation), a tilt of 90 degrees is considered perpendicular, and neither prograde or retrograde.
