Pro Tip 1/2Visual Imagery
Radial as an imagery suggests spokes spreading from a center, like a wheel or flower.
Artists often use radial balance in their compositions.
Pro Tip 2/2Wide Influence
When describing influence or effect, 'radial' implies it spreads outwards affecting a broad area.
The radial impact of the new policy was seen city-wide.

a lot of information that may not be visible to the human eye. So, for instance, we can plot the length of the edges. White surfaces have long edges, black ones have short ones. We can plot the planarity of the surfaces, their curvature, how radial they are -- all information that may not be instantly visible to you,

The science of symmetry...
But when it occurs in animals, this kind of symmetry is known as radial symmetry. For instance, some sea urchins and starfish have pentaradial or five-fold symmetry, that is, symmetry with respect to rotations of 72 degrees around their center. This symmetry also appears in plants,

At the center where those radial lines are, it's wider in your visual field than the parts above and below. And this is remarkable, because it's a remarkably simple stimulus. It's just a bunch of straight lines. Why should one of the most complicated objects in the universe

So there's a dot on here for every galaxy. They go out and point a telescope at the sky, take a picture, identify what are stars and throw them away, look at the galaxies, estimate how far away they are, and plot them up. And just put radially they're going out that way.

any of the cool stuff we've got now. And it was an arm that, instead of hinging and pivoting as it went across the record, went a radial, linear tracking tone arm. And it was the hardest invention I ever made, but it got me started, and I got really lucky after that.

it's had a surprising influence on Mercury's overall size, by causing it to shrink. The hot iron core has slowly cooled and contracted over the planet's 4.5 billion years. In doing so, it pulled Mercury's surface inward, and has caused the planet to shrink radially

I've been collecting over time, and it really shows the immense visual diversity of this new metaphor. And here is an example. On the very top band, you have radial convergence, a visualization model that has become really popular over the last five years.
