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.
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.
