Fathom (US Survey)

The fathom (US survey) is a unit of length used in U.S. surveying and nautical contexts, defined as exactly 6 US survey feet. Since one US survey foot is approximately 0.3048006096 meters, the US survey fathom measures about 1.828804 meters.

Like the international fathom, it is primarily used to measure water depths and underwater distances in marine navigation and surveying.

Key details:

1 US survey fathom = 6 US survey feet
1 US survey fathom ≈ 1.828804 meters
1 fathom = 2 yards

Though the difference between the US survey fathom and the international fathom is very small, the US survey units are being phased out in favor of international standards, but they still appear in some legal and historical surveying documents.

Earth Equatorial Radius

The Earth's equatorial radius is the distance from the center of the Earth to the equator. It represents the Earth's radius measured along the equatorial plane.

Its value is approximately 6,378.1 kilometers (about 3,963.2 miles).
The Earth is not a perfect sphere but an oblate spheroid, so the equatorial radius is slightly larger than the polar radius.
This radius is important for geodesy, satellite orbits, and mapping.

Key facts:

Equatorial radius ≈ 6,378.1 km
Larger than polar radius due to Earth's flattening at the poles
Used in Earth sciences, navigation, and space missions

Understanding the Earth's equatorial radius helps in accurate modeling of the planet’s shape and gravitational field.
