1. thickness

   Thickness generally refers to the measurement of the distance between two opposite surfaces of an object, often seen as a dimension. It can apply to a three-dimensional entity's extent from one side to another, often the smallest dimension. Thickness is usually a tangible, physical measurement but can also refer metaphorically to the density or depth of intangible things.
