Stability is the capability of a sample material to retain the initial property of a measured constituent for a period of time within specified limits when the sample is stored under defined conditions...
It is the ability of an object, such as a ship or aircraft, to maintain equilibrium or resume its original, upright position after displacement as by the sea or strong winds.
Stability is a state of the atmosphere in which air will resist vertical displacement. It is a situation in which things happen as they should and there are no harmful changes. It is a condition in which someone's mind or emotional state is healthy. Stability is the ability of something to remain balanced and not fall or shake science. It is the ability of a substance to stay in the same state. Stability is the tendency of the variables or components of a system to remain within defined and recognizable limits despite the impact of disturbances. The ability of a system to persist and to remain qualitatively unchanged in response either to a disturbance or to fluctuations of the system caused by a disturbance. This idea of stability combines the concepts of traditional stability and Holling's new concept of resilience. The capacity of an object or system to return to equilibrium after having been displaced. Note with two possible kinds of equilibrium one may have a static (linear) stability of rest or a dynamic (nonlinear) stability of an endlessly repeated motion. A system is stable if, when perturbed, it returns to its original state. The more quickly it returns, the more stable it is. Emotional stability is the state of an individual that enables him or her to have appropriate feelings about common experiences and act in a rational manner.
In a Democracy, political stability means that the majority are happy, they have a constitution and laws that they follow, and the minority does not have enough power to screw things up. In a totalitarian government, stability means that everyone is too scared to topple it. A stable government (or political stability) simply means you can count on the government to be tomorrow or a year from now to be what it is today.
