Eötvös can also refers to several concepts and a place, all named for Loránd Eötvös:
* an
eotvos (unit)
The eotvos is a unit of acceleration divided by distance that was used in conjunction with the older centimetre–gram–second system of units (cgs). The eotvos is defined as 10−9 galileos per centimetre. The symbol of the eotvos unit is ...
, a unit of gravitational gradient
* the
Eötvös effect
The Eötvös effect is the change in measured Earth's gravity caused by the change in centrifugal acceleration resulting from eastbound or westbound velocity. When moving eastbound, the object's angular velocity is increased (in addition to Eart ...
