Convert Earth's polar radius to Earth's equatorial radius
Please provide values below to Convert Earth's polar radius to Earth's equatorial radius, or vice versa.
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.
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.
