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.
Reed
A reed is an ancient unit of length, typically about 6 cubits or around 9 feet.
History/Origin
The reed was a common unit of measurement in ancient Mesopotamia and the surrounding regions.
Current Use
The reed is an obsolete unit of measurement.
