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.
Cubit (Greek)
The Greek cubit, or pechys, was a unit of length approximately 46 centimeters.
History/Origin
The cubit was a common unit of length in ancient Greece, used in architecture and for measuring everyday objects.
Current Use
The Greek cubit is an obsolete unit of measurement.
