A mathematical relationship between two numbers indicating how many times the first number contains the second.

Interval

A range of values between two points, often used in reference to scales in measurements.

True Zero Point

In measurement scales, a true zero point indicates the absence of the quantity being measured, allowing for ratios to be meaningfully calculated.
