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.

Span (cloth)

A span (cloth) is a unit of length used historically in textiles and cloth measurement. One span (cloth) is approximately equivalent to 24 inches or 0.6096 meters.

The span (cloth) is based on the width of a person's outstretched hand from thumb to little finger, providing a practical measure for fabric lengths and textile work.

Spans (cloth) were used in the textile industry for measuring and cutting fabric. While less common today, the unit remains of historical interest and reflects traditional practices in cloth measurement and tailoring.
