What is the Formula to convert Earth's equatorial radius to Earth's polar radius?

The formula to convert given length from Earth's equatorial radius to Earth's polar radius is:

Length(Earth's polar radius) = Length(Earth's equatorial radius) / 0.9966474656869473

Substitute the given value of length in earth's equatorial radius, i.e., Length(Earth's equatorial radius) in the above formula and simplify the right-hand side value. The resulting value is the length in earth's polar radius, i.e., Length(Earth's polar radius).

Calculation

Calculation will be done after you enter a valid input.

Examples

1

Consider that a geostationary satellite orbits at a distance equal to 6.6 times Earth's equatorial radius.
Convert this distance from Earth's equatorial radius to Earth's polar radius.

Answer:

Given:

The length in earth's equatorial radius is:

Length(Earth's equatorial radius) = 6.6

Formula:

The formula to convert length from earth's equatorial radius to earth's polar radius is:

Length(Earth's polar radius) = Length(Earth's equatorial radius) / 0.9966474656869473

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Length(Earth's equatorial radius) = 6.6 in the above formula.

Length(Earth's polar radius) = 6.6 / 0.9966474656869473

Length(Earth's polar radius) = 6.6222

Final Answer:

Therefore, 6.6 earth's equatorial radius is equal to 6.6222 Earth's polar radius.

The length is 6.6222 Earth's polar radius, in earth's polar radius.

2

Consider that a mountain's height is measured as 0.000156 times Earth's equatorial radius.
Convert this height from Earth's equatorial radius to Earth's polar radius.

Answer:

Given:

The length in earth's equatorial radius is:

Length(Earth's equatorial radius) = 0.000156

Formula:

The formula to convert length from earth's equatorial radius to earth's polar radius is:

Length(Earth's polar radius) = Length(Earth's equatorial radius) / 0.9966474656869473

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Length(Earth's equatorial radius) = 0.000156 in the above formula.

Length(Earth's polar radius) = 0.000156 / 0.9966474656869473

Length(Earth's polar radius) = 0.0001565247546107

Final Answer:

Therefore, 0.000156 earth's equatorial radius is equal to 0.0001565247546107 Earth's polar radius.

The length is 0.0001565247546107 Earth's polar radius, in earth's polar radius.

Earth's equatorial radius

The Earth's equatorial radius is the distance from the Earth's center to the equator. One Earth's equatorial radius is approximately 6,378.1 kilometers or about 3,963.2 miles.

The equatorial radius is the longest radius of the Earth due to its equatorial bulge, caused by the planet's rotation. This bulge results in a slightly larger radius at the equator compared to the polar radius.

The Earth's equatorial radius is used in geodesy, cartography, and satellite navigation to define the Earth's shape and for accurate measurements of distances and areas on the Earth's surface. It provides a key parameter for understanding Earth's dimensions and its gravitational field.

Earth's polar radius

The Earth's polar radius is the distance from the Earth's center to the poles. One Earth's polar radius is approximately 6,356.8 kilometers or about 3,949.9 miles.

The polar radius is shorter than the equatorial radius due to the Earth's oblate spheroid shape, which results from its rotation causing a bulge at the equator and a flattening at the poles.

The Earth's polar radius is used in geodesy, cartography, and satellite navigation to accurately describe the Earth's shape and dimensions. It is essential for understanding Earth's gravitational field, polar regions, and measurements related to the planet's overall geometry.
