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.

Mile (Roman)

The Roman mile (mille passuum, meaning "a thousand paces") was a unit of distance used in ancient Rome. It measured approximately 1,000 double steps, or 5,000 Roman feet. One Roman foot (pes) was about 11.65 inches (29.6 cm), making the Roman mile roughly 4,850 feet or about 1,480 meters.

The Roman mile was used for measuring distances along roads across the Roman Empire, often marked by milestones (miliaria) placed at intervals of one mile. This system allowed for standardized road construction and efficient communication and transportation across vast territories.

Although shorter than the modern statute mile (1,609.344 meters), the Roman mile laid the foundation for the concept of mile-based distance measurement. The word "mile" itself originates from the Latin "mille," reflecting this Roman origin. Over time, the length of a mile evolved, eventually leading to the modern definitions used today.
