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.
Nautical League (Int.)
The international nautical league is a unit of length equal to three international nautical miles.
History/Origin
The international nautical league is based on the international nautical mile, which was defined as exactly 1,852 meters by international agreement in 1929.
Current Use
The nautical league is not a commonly used unit, with distances at sea typically being expressed in nautical miles.
