Famn
A famn is an obsolete Swedish unit of length, equivalent to 3 aln or about 1.78 meters.
History/Origin
The famn was the Swedish version of the fathom, based on the span of outstretched arms.
Current Use
The famn is no longer in use.
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.
