Earth's Equatorial Radius
The Earth's equatorial radius is the distance from the center of the Earth to the equator, approximately 6,378.1 kilometers.
History/Origin
The size and shape of the Earth have been a subject of study since ancient times. Modern measurements are made using satellite geodesy.
Current Use
The Earth's equatorial radius is a fundamental parameter in geodesy, geophysics, and astronomy. It is used in cartography and for defining the shape of the Earth.
Pole
A pole is a unit of length equal to a rod or perch, which is 16.5 feet.
History/Origin
The term "pole" as a unit of length originated from the use of a physical pole of a certain length for measuring land.
Current Use
The pole is an archaic unit of measurement.
