The order of magnitude of a physical quantity is its magnitude in powers of ten when the physical quantity is expressed in powers of ten with one digit to the left of the decimal.

Orders of magnitude are generally used to make very approximate comparisons and reflect very large differences.

The foods we eat, the air we breathe, cleaning chemicals, our emotions and literally every object that we can see or touch, love, jealousy, infatuation and all share in chemistry. For all living things to function and survive, their bodies perform various chemical processes.
