Convert Earth's equatorial radius to Earth's polar radius
Please provide values below to Convert Earth's equatorial radius to Earth's polar radius, or vice versa.
What is Earth's Equatorial Radius?
Earth's Equatorial Radius is the radius of the Earth measured at the Equator. Its value is approximately 6,378.1 kilometers (3,963.2 miles). Due to Earth's rotation, it is slightly larger than the polar radius.
What is Earth's Polar Radius?
Earth's Polar Radius is the radius of the Earth measured from its center to the North or South Pole. Its value is approximately 6,356.8 kilometers (3,950.7 miles), slightly smaller than the equatorial radius due to Earth's oblate shape.
