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.
League (Statute)
A statute league is a unit of length equal to three statute miles.
History/Origin
The statute league is based on the statute mile, which was defined as 5,280 feet by an Act of the English Parliament in 1592.
Current Use
The statute league is an obsolete unit of measurement.
