These fins give a larger surface area from which to dissipate heat letting the resistor handle more power without being damaged.
With that knowledge realize that on a four band resistor the third color will always be blue 106 or less and on a five band resistor the fourth color will always be green 105 or.
You can measure the actual value of a specific resistor using a device called a multimeter.

Method of finding the value meaning of codes of capacitor.
The first two numbers describe the value of the capacitor and the third number is the number of zeros in the multiplier.
For the highest dissipation values the resistor has a aluminum case with fins.
You all must have had a problem while make your projects and searching old pieces of circuits for a particular resistor or a capacitor.
