Kilometer

A kilometer (km) is a unit of length in the metric system, used to measure long distances. One kilometer equals 1,000 meters or about 0.62 miles. Kilometers are commonly used to measure distances between cities, in road signs, and in running or walking events. For example, a marathon is 42.195 kilometers long. The symbol for kilometer is "km". Most countries around the world use kilometers instead of miles for speed and distance, especially in transportation. Because it covers a large distance, the kilometer is not used for measuring small objects but is perfect for travel and mapping.

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.
