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.
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.
