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.
Kiloyard
A kiloyard is a unit of length equal to 1,000 yards.
History/Origin
The kiloyard is not a standard or common unit of measurement. It is a logical multiple of the yard.
Current Use
The kiloyard is rarely used.
