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.

Rods (US survey)

A rod (US survey) is a unit of length used primarily in land surveying in the United States. One US survey rod is equivalent to exactly 16.5 feet or approximately 5.0292 meters.

The US survey rod is defined as 16.5 feet, based on historical surveying practices and used for measuring and plotting land.

Rods (US survey) are used in land surveying, property measurement, and agricultural practices in the United States. The unit ensures consistency and accuracy in measuring shorter distances within these fields.
