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

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

Length(Earth's equatorial radius) = Length(Earth's polar radius) / 1.0033638116068875

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

Calculation

Calculation will be done after you enter a valid input.

Examples

1

Consider that a polar satellite orbits at a distance equal to 2.3 times Earth's polar radius.
Convert this distance from Earth's polar radius to Earth's equatorial radius.

Answer:

Given:

The length in earth's polar radius is:

Length(Earth's polar radius) = 2.3

Formula:

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

Length(Earth's equatorial radius) = Length(Earth's polar radius) / 1.0033638116068875

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Length(Earth's polar radius) = 2.3 in the above formula.

Length(Earth's equatorial radius) = 2.3 / 1.0033638116068875

Length(Earth's equatorial radius) = 2.2923

Final Answer:

Therefore, 2.3 Earth's polar radius is equal to 2.2923 earth's equatorial radius.

The length is 2.2923 earth's equatorial radius, in earth's equatorial radius.

2

Consider that a polar ice cap extends to a height of 0.0001 times Earth's polar radius.
Convert this height from Earth's polar radius to Earth's equatorial radius.

Answer:

Given:

The length in earth's polar radius is:

Length(Earth's polar radius) = 0.0001

Formula:

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

Length(Earth's equatorial radius) = Length(Earth's polar radius) / 1.0033638116068875

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Length(Earth's polar radius) = 0.0001 in the above formula.

Length(Earth's equatorial radius) = 0.0001 / 1.0033638116068875

Length(Earth's equatorial radius) = 0.0000996647465687

Final Answer:

Therefore, 0.0001 Earth's polar radius is equal to 0.0000996647465687 earth's equatorial radius.

The length is 0.0000996647465687 earth's equatorial radius, in earth's equatorial radius.

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.

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.
