  2. The calculator converts the given Earth's equatorial radius into Kilometers in realtime ⌚ using the conversion formula, and displays under the Kilometers label. You do not need to click any button. If the input changes, Kilometers value is re-calculated, just like that.
  3. You may copy the resulting Kilometers value using the Copy button.
  4. To view a detailed step by step calculation of the conversion, click on the View Calculation button.
  5. You can also reset the input by clicking on Reset button present below the input field.

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

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

Length(Kilometers) = Length(Earth's equatorial radius) / 0.00015678502889999998

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 kilometers, i.e., Length(Kilometers).

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 Kilometers.

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 kilometers is:

Length(Kilometers) = Length(Earth's equatorial radius) / 0.00015678502889999998

Substitution:

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

Length(Kilometers) = 6.6 / 0.00015678502889999998

Length(Kilometers) = 42095.856

Final Answer:

Therefore, 6.6 earth's equatorial radius is equal to 42095.856 km.

The length is 42095.856 km, in kilometers.

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 Kilometers.

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 kilometers is:

Length(Kilometers) = Length(Earth's equatorial radius) / 0.00015678502889999998

Substitution:

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

Length(Kilometers) = 0.000156 / 0.00015678502889999998

Length(Kilometers) = 0.994993

Final Answer:

Therefore, 0.000156 earth's equatorial radius is equal to 0.994993 km.

The length is 0.994993 km, in kilometers.

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.

Kilometers

A kilometer (km) is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI), equal to 0.6214 miles. One kilometer is one thousand meters.

The prefix "kilo-" means one thousand. A kilometer is defined by 1000 times the distance light travels in 1/299,792,458 seconds. This definition may change, but a kilometer will always be one thousand meters.

Kilometers are used to measure distances on land in most countries. However, the United States and the United Kingdom still often use miles. The UK has adopted the metric system, but miles are still used on road signs.
