Les aérosols, les colloïdes, les gels, les flocons de neige, les cristaux sont des exemples d’agrégats. Les plus petits sont appelés microagrégats. Les plus gros - superagrégats. En dépit de l’équivalence de sens, le terme "agrégat" est rarement employé en théorie des amas (amas d’Eden, de Bernoulli, de percolation, etc.) ou en astronomie (amas globulaires, galactiques, stellaires, etc.). 3, record 2, French, - agr%C3%A9gat
