#spatial measurement
- Throw — The physical action of throwing an object and its direct result; the maximum distance or geometric space traversed by a body propelled through the air by muscular or mechanical force. Figuratively, it is frequently used in popular idioms to express a very short spatial distance, immediate proximity, or a quick evaluation, comparable to the minimum effort required for a single throw.
- Stone's throw — The distance to which an object can be thrown by hand or by a simple mechanical means; the length of a powerful throw. In a figurative sense, it is used exclusively in popular or colloquial language to describe a very short spatial distance, an extremely close or easily accessible place.
