Convert twip to Earth's equatorial radius
Please provide values below to convert twip [twip] to Earth's equatorial radius [R_e], or Convert Earth's equatorial radius to twip.
1 twip = 2.7655e-12 R_e. To convert twip to Earth's equatorial radius, multiply the value by 2.7655e-12; to go the other way, divide by it (1 R_e = 361594940728 twip). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 twip = 2.7655e-12 R_e
- 1 R_e = 361594940728 twip
- 10 twip = 2.7655e-11 R_e

Twip
A twip (twentieth of a point) is a unit of typographical measurement equal to 1/1440 of an inch.
History/Origin
The twip was invented by Microsoft as a device-independent unit for layout calculations in its software.
Current Use
The twip is used internally by some software programs for screen and print layout.
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.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 twip in Earth's equatorial radius?
