Torino scale the validity and societal impact of SETI data. The Torino Scale also uses a color code scale: white, green, yellow, orange, red. Each color code has an overall meaning: No object has ever been rated above level 4. The Chicxulub impact, believed by most scientists to be a significant factor in the extinction of the dinosaurs, has been estimated at 100 million (10) megatons, or Torino Scale 10. The impacts which created the Barringer Crater and the Tunguska event in 1908 are both estimated to be in the 3–10 megaton range, corresponding to Torino Scale 8. The 2013 Chelyabinsk meteor
Gardner color scale Gardner color scale Gardner Color Scale is a one-dimensional scale to measure the shade of the color yellow. Colors of transparent liquids have been studied visually since the early 19th century. Changes in color can indicate contamination or impurities in the raw materials, process variations, or degradation of products over time. One dimensional scales for yellowness were created, e.g., Gardner Color Scale. The yellowness of the transparent liquid is determined by pouring the sample into a tube and comparing it to a pre determined and known standard. The standard that the sample falls closest to then becomes the value for
