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.
Hand
A hand is a unit of length equal to 4 inches.
History/Origin
The hand was originally the width of a man's hand, including the thumb. It was standardized to 4 inches for measuring the height of horses.
Current Use
The hand is still used today to measure the height of horses.
