Finger (Cloth)
A finger or finger's breadth is an obsolete unit of length, approximately the width of a human finger, about 3/4 of an inch.
History/Origin
The finger has been used as a unit of measurement since ancient times.
Current Use
The finger is no longer a standard unit of measurement.
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.
