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.

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.
