How to Convert Aln to Earth's Equatorial Radius
1 aln = 9.30958017678203e-08 R_e
Example: convert 15 aln to R_e:
15 aln = 15 × 9.30958017678203e-08 R_e = 1.3964370265173e-06 R_e

Aln
An aln is an obsolete Swedish unit of length, roughly equivalent to 2 Swedish feet or about 59 centimeters.
History/Origin
The aln was the Swedish version of the ell, a common unit of length for measuring cloth throughout Europe.
Current Use
The aln 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.
