League
A league is a unit of length that was common in Europe and Latin America, but is no longer an official unit in any nation. It was the distance a person could walk in an hour.
History/Origin
The league varied in length from country to country and even within the same country over time. The most common definition was three miles.
Current Use
The league is no longer in common use but is found in historical texts and literature.
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.
