Spatial (infrequently spelled spacial) dimensions are those which we normally associate with the characteristics of height, length, width. It would be correct to say that a cube has three equal spatial dimensions. The term dimension is used to refer to the size of something, so spatial dimension is the aspect of the physical extent, or spatial extend, of an object. One may also speak of other measurements of size, the one frequently juxtaposed with spatial is the temporal extent of something. A person's age is a size in the time dimension. The universe is known to have three spatial dimensions and one time dimension. (Theoretical physics has produced conjectures that there are actually more than these four, string theory being one area of current research which asserts the possibility that there are actually 10 or 11 or more dimensions in the universe.)
The concept of dimensions is not limited to space and time. In mathematics, the size of an array of N rows and M columns is said to two-dimensional and N is the column dimension and M is the row dimension. This idea generalizes to more than just two and can even be extended to include the concept of infinite dimensional objects. The concept of size or extent, hence the concept of dimension, goes beyond physics and mathematics and one can, for example, speak of the color dimensions something may have.
In short, a spatial dimension refers to physical size in one direction in space and there are three spatial dimensions and one temporal dimension that are intrinsic to the universe in which we live.

Can you go to the fifth dimension now?
There is no such thing as a "fifth dimension" in the real world. Our world, basically, has 3 (spatial) dimensions.
Who reorganized spatial designs to suggest a third dimension?

Which are the eleven dimensions in universe?
The first dimension is primary (length). The second dimension is secondary (width). The third dimmension is tertiary (height). Those are the 3 basic spatial dimensions. The fourth dimension is time. The fifth dimension is the rotation of primary. The sixth dimension is the rotation of secondary (and primary). The seventh dimension is the rotation of tertiary (secondary and primary). The eighth dimension is the pulse of time. The ninth dimension is the energy radiation of primary. The tenth dimension is the energy radiation of secondary. The eleventh dimension is the energy radiation of tertiary. In total there are 10 spatial dimensions and 1 time dimension, in other words, 11 spacetime dimensions.
How do you define 'length'?
the answer for this question is the long or longer dimension of an solid object
How many 4' by 3' boxes can fit in a 48' by 3' box?
One 4'3' box will fit in a 48'3 box due to spatial restrictions in one dimension (3-foot).
What are the different of spatial figure to plane figure?
the plane figure has 2 dimension and spatial figure has 3 dimension
Spatial Dimension of Waste Management?
the spacial dimension of waste management came from earth
What ways are there to travel to a parallel universe in theory?
rotate your spatial dimension into those of a parallel spatial reality.

Definition of spatial dimention in geography?
Geography is the study of land masses and the earth. In this field spatial dimension is a comparison of patterns and environmental factors.

What are the two questions that Geographers ask when they study the Earth?
When Geographers study the earth they will want to find out the spatial dimension (where something is and why is it there) and the ecological dimension (how do humans interact with it).
Where did the spatial dimension occur in the Victorian bushfires?
Bushfires involve all of the spatial dimensions, in that they can move in all directions, including vertically. Firefighters must be ready and have a plan of escape at all times.
Is hours a vector quantity?
No. The Universe is consists of a real dimension and three vector dimensions. The three spatial dimensions are vectors and the one real dimension r = ct includes t the time unit.
How does dimension change?
The length (one of the spatial dimensions) of an aluminum rod increases when the temperature of the rod increases (so does the height and width of the rod - the other two spatial dimensions - but for a thin rod those changes are not as noticeable.
How would a being in a 4th spatial dimension perceive us?
Probably the same way we perceive a photograph of a person. It'd seem flat.
