Convert link to Earth's equatorial radius
Please provide values below to convert link [li] to Earth's equatorial radius [R_e], or Convert Earth's equatorial radius to link.
1 li = 3.15402444319e-08 R_e. To convert link to Earth's equatorial radius, multiply the value by 3.15402444319e-08; to go the other way, divide by it (1 R_e = 31705524.7355 li). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

Link
A link, specifically Gunter's link, is a unit of length equal to 7.92 inches, or 1/100 of a chain.
History/Origin
The link is part of Gunter's chain, a surveying tool invented by Edmund Gunter in the 17th century.
Current Use
The link is an obsolete unit of measurement, but may be found in old land surveys.
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.
