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.
Long Cubit
A long cubit is an ancient unit of length, slightly longer than the common cubit. Its length varied but was often around 20.6 inches.
History/Origin
The long cubit, or royal cubit, was used in ancient Egypt for monumental construction.
Current Use
The long cubit is an obsolete unit of measurement.
