The distance of one side of the circle, through its center, and to its other side. The diameter is exactly one half the length of the radius, and there are an infinite number of diameters although they are all the same size because they all must pass through the circle's center.

Any line segment through the center of the ellipse with endpoints on the ellipse.
Distance across widest dimension of a circle
the length of a straight line through the center of an object Mississippi: Early Logging
of a metric space is the supremum of distances between pairs of points.

the distance through the center of the ball
a line segment from any point on the circle passing through the center to another point on the circle.
chord that passes through the centre of a circle.
In a circle, a segment that passes through the center and that has both endpoints on the circle.
A line segment which passes through the center of a circle and whose end points lie on the circle. As related to wire rope it would be the diameter of a circle which circumscribes the wire rope.
A straight line segment that passes through the center of a circle or sphere and connects two opposite points. Mathematically, the diameter of a circle is expressed as 2r, with "r" representing the radius of the circle or sphere.
chord that goes through the center of a circle.
The diameter of a graph is the longest distance you can find between two vertices. When you are measuring distances to determine a graph's diameter, recall that if 2 vertices have many paths of different distances connecting them, you can only count the shortest one. An interesting problem in graph theory is to draw graphs in which both the degrees of the vertices and the diameter of the graph are small. Drawing the largest graphs possible that meet these criteria is an open problem.
The length of a straight line measured through the center of a circle from one side to the other.
A line segment that passes through the center of a circle (or sphere) and has endpoints on the circle (or sphere); also, the length of such a line segment. The diameter of a circle is twice it radius. See also circle.
(n.): The diameter of a graph is the maximal distance between any two points on the graph. If the graph is not connected, its diameter is infinite.
(n.) The distance across a graph, measured by the number of links traversed. Diameter is usually taken to mean maximum diameter (ie the greatest internode distance in the graph, but it can also mean the average of all internode distances. Diameter is sometimes used as a measure of the goodness of a topology.
