1. aspect rationoun

   The ratio of an object's longest dimension to its next-longest dimension.

2. aspect rationoun

   The ratio of width to height in a flat surface or 2-dimensional abstract construction, such as an image, character, or pixel. 4:3 (or 1.33:1) is the standard ratio for NTSC video. 1.85:1 and 2.35:1 are the most common aspect ratios for motion pictures.

3. Etymology: aspect + ratio

1. Aspect ratio

   The aspect ratio of a geometric shape is the ratio of its sizes in different dimensions. For example, the aspect ratio of a rectangle is the ratio of its longer side to its shorter side—the ratio of width to height, when the rectangle is oriented as a "landscape". The aspect ratio is most often expressed as two integer numbers separated by a colon (x:y), less commonly as a simple or decimal fraction. The values x and y do not represent actual widths and heights but, rather, the proportion between width and height. As an example, 8:5, 16:10, 1.6:1, 8⁄5 and 1.6 are all ways of representing the same aspect ratio. In objects of more than two dimensions, such as hyperrectangles, the aspect ratio can still be defined as the ratio of the longest side to the shortest side.

1. aspect ratio

   Aspect ratio, in the context of images, display screens, photography and similar fields, is defined as the proportional relationship between an image's width and height. It is often described as two numbers separated by a colon (e.g., 16:9), indicating the width of the image relative to the height. More broadly, in various other fields such as aeronautics, materials science, and polymers, aspect ratio could denote the ratio or relationship between different dimensions or characteristics of an object or system.

1. Aspect ratio

   The aspect ratio of an image describes the proportional relationship between its width and its height. It is commonly expressed as two numbers separated by a colon, as in 16:9. For an x:y aspect ratio, no matter how big or small the image is, if the width is divided into x units of equal length and the height is measured using this same length unit, the height will be measured to be y units. For example, consider a group of images, all with an aspect ratio of 16:9. One image is 16 inches wide and 9 inches high. Another image is 16 centimeters wide and 9 centimeters high. A third is 8 yards wide and 4.5 yards high. The most common aspect ratios used today in the presentation of films in movie theaters are 1.85:1 and 2.39:1. Two common videographic aspect ratios are 4:3, the universal video format of the 20th century, and 16:9, universal for high-definition television and European digital television. Other cinema and video aspect ratios exist, but are used infrequently. In still camera photography, the most common aspect ratios are 4:3, 3:2, and more recently being found in consumer cameras 16:9. Other aspect ratios, such as 5:3, 5:4, and 1:1, are used in photography as well, particularly in medium format and large format.

Examples of aspect ratio in a Sentence

1. Dillon Ruble:

   The design objectives for an air-time record would be vastly different from the low-drag version we built for the longest-distance record, increasing the wingspan and decreasing the aspect ratio would be the first steps in producing this type of plane.
