Dilation is a transformation that changes the size of an object. It involves stretching or shrinking an object along its axes. It can be represented by a scale factor.

Scale Factor: The ratio of two lengths and measures the amount of scaling that takes place. Axes: The plural form of axis, which is an imaginary line in a two dimensional figure that divides it into two equal halves. Transformation: A change in the position, size, or shape of a figure.

Dilation can also refer to the process of increasing the size of something, such as a lake or ocean. The opposite of dilation is contraction. Dilation can also occur in time – when time passes more slowly or quickly than usual.
