Earth's Polar Radius
The Earth's polar radius is the distance from the center of the Earth to the North or South Pole, approximately 6,356.8 kilometers.
History/Origin
The fact that the Earth is an oblate spheroid, flattened at the poles, has been known since the 18th century. Modern measurements are made with high precision.
Current Use
The Earth's polar radius is a key parameter in geodesy and is used to define the Earth's shape and gravitational field.
Nautical League (Uk)
A nautical league was a unit of length in the UK, equal to three nautical miles.
History/Origin
The nautical league was based on the nautical mile, which was historically defined as one minute of arc of a great circle of the Earth. The UK adopted the international nautical mile in 1970.
Current Use
The nautical league is now an obsolete unit.
