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.
League (Statute)
A statute league is a unit of length equal to three statute miles.
History/Origin
The statute league is based on the statute mile, which was defined as 5,280 feet by an Act of the English Parliament in 1592.
