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.

Chains (US survey)

A chain (US survey) is a unit of length used primarily in land surveying in the United States. One US survey chain is equivalent to exactly 66 feet or approximately 20.1168 meters.

The US survey chain is defined as 66 feet, based on historical surveying practices and used for measuring and plotting land.

Chains (US survey) are used in land surveying for tasks such as property measurement, land division, and mapping in the United States. This unit ensures consistency and accuracy in surveying and land measurement activities.
