How to Convert Link to Earth's Equatorial Radius

1 li = 3.15402444318772e-08 R_e

Example: convert 15 li to R_e:
15 li = 15 Γ— 3.15402444318772e-08 R_e = 4.73103666478158e-07 R_e

link Earth's equatorial radius

Link

A link, specifically Gunter's link, is a unit of length equal to 7.92 inches, or 1/100 of a chain.

History/Origin

The link is part of Gunter's chain, a surveying tool invented by Edmund Gunter in the 17th century.

Current Use

The link is an obsolete unit of measurement, but may be found in old land surveys.


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.
