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

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

Length(Fathoms) = Length(Earth's equatorial radius) / 2.8672846083598795e-7

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 fathoms, i.e., Length(Fathoms).

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 Fathoms.

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 fathoms is:

Length(Fathoms) = Length(Earth's equatorial radius) / 2.8672846083598795e-7

Substitution:

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

Length(Fathoms) = 6.6 / 2.8672846083598795e-7

Length(Fathoms) = 23018293.9662

Final Answer:

Therefore, 6.6 earth's equatorial radius is equal to 23018293.9662 fath.

The length is 23018293.9662 fath, in fathoms.

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 Fathoms.

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 fathoms is:

Length(Fathoms) = Length(Earth's equatorial radius) / 2.8672846083598795e-7

Substitution:

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

Length(Fathoms) = 0.000156 / 2.8672846083598795e-7

Length(Fathoms) = 544.0687665

Final Answer:

Therefore, 0.000156 earth's equatorial radius is equal to 544.0687665 fath.

The length is 544.0687665 fath, in fathoms.

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.

Fathoms

A fathom is a unit of length used primarily in maritime contexts to measure water depth. One fathom is equivalent to 6 feet or approximately 1.8288 meters.

The fathom is defined as 6 feet, making it a convenient measurement for nautical and maritime applications, particularly for depth soundings and underwater measurements.

Fathoms are commonly used in navigation, fishing, and marine activities to describe the depth of water. The unit provides a practical measurement for underwater distances and has historical significance in maritime practices.
