What is the Formula to convert Earth's polar radius to Gigameters?
The formula to convert given length from Earth's polar radius to Gigameters is:
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 gigameters, i.e., Length(Gigameters).
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 Gigameters.
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 gigameters is:
Substitute given weight Length(Earth's polar radius) = 0.0001 in the above formula.
Length(Gigameters) = 0.0001 / 157.31242419999998
Length(Gigameters) = 6.356777e-7
Final Answer:
Therefore, 0.0001 Earth's polar radius is equal to 6.356777e-7 Gm.
The length is 6.356777e-7 Gm, in gigameters.

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.
Gigameters
A gigameter (Gm) is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). One gigameter is equivalent to 1,000,000,000 meters or approximately 621,371,192 miles.
The gigameter is defined as one billion meters, making it a measurement for extremely large distances, often used in astronomical contexts.
Gigameters are used in fields such as astronomy and space science to describe distances on a scale larger than megameters. They offer a convenient way to express the vast distances between celestial bodies and in large-scale cosmic phenomena.
