Earth Polar Radius

The Earth's polar radius is the distance from the center of the Earth to the North or South Pole. It measures the Earth’s radius along its rotational axis.

Its value is approximately 6,356.8 kilometers (about 3,949.9 miles).
The Earth is an oblate spheroid, so the polar radius is slightly shorter than the equatorial radius due to the planet's flattening at the poles.
This measurement is crucial for geodesy, understanding Earth’s shape, and satellite navigation.

Key facts:

Polar radius ≈ 6,356.8 km
Smaller than equatorial radius by about 21.3 km
Important for precise Earth modeling and mapping

The difference between the polar and equatorial radius reflects the Earth’s rotation and its effect on the planet’s shape.

Fingerbreadth

A fingerbreadth is a traditional unit of length based on the width of a human finger, often used in historical and informal measurements. It typically measures about ¾ inch (approximately 19 millimeters), though it can vary depending on the person and context.

Fingerbreadths were commonly used in tailoring, medicine, and everyday life to estimate small lengths before standardized units became widespread.

Key points:

Approximately ¾ inch (19 mm)
Based on the width of a finger
Used in historical measurements and everyday approximations
Part of body-based units like handbreadth and span

Fingerbreadth remains a handy reference for rough estimates even today.
