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.
Handbreadth
A handbreadth is an ancient unit of length, based on the width of the hand at the knuckles, excluding the thumb. It is typically about 3 inches.
History/Origin
The handbreadth has been used as a unit of measurement in many cultures throughout history.
Current Use
The handbreadth is an obsolete unit of measurement.
