A bandwidth test is a program that sends one or more files of known size over a network to a distant computer..., measures the time required for the file(s) to successfully download at the destination, and thereby obtains a theoretical figure for the data speed between two or more points, usually in kilobits per second(Kbps) or megabits per second(Mbps). 2, record 1, English, - bandwidth%20test

Determining the Earth's motion with reference to distant astronomical bodies(quasars) is principally achieved through Very Large Base Interferometry(VLBI) techniques based on simultaneous observation of quasi-stellar sources by an international network of radioastronomy observatories.... Obviously, the motions of the Earth's interior cannot be measured directly and must be deduced from the analysis of surface deformations combined with high-precision space-based measurements of the Earth's gravity and magnetic fields. 2, record 6, English, - very%20large%20base%20interferometry
