Convert ken to Earth's polar radius
Please provide values below to convert ken [ken] to Earth's polar radius [R_p], or Convert Earth's polar radius to ken.
1 ken = 3.33245641804e-07 R_p. To convert ken to Earth's polar radius, multiply the value by 3.33245641804e-07; to go the other way, divide by it (1 R_p = 3000789.43145 ken). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

Ken
The ken is a traditional Japanese unit of length, equal to six Japanese feet (shaku). Its length has varied over time, but it is now standardized at 1.818 meters.
History/Origin
The ken was traditionally used in Japanese architecture and land measurement.
Current Use
The ken is still used in traditional Japanese carpentry and architecture.
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.
