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.
Pica
A pica is a unit of typographical measurement equal to 1/6 of an inch.
History/Origin
The pica originated around the mid-18th century. It is a fundamental unit in the point system of typography.
Current Use
The pica is still used in graphic design and printing to measure the width of lines of type and the dimensions of pages.
