Nail (Cloth)

A nail is a traditional unit of length used in cloth measurement, equal to 2¼ inches or approximately 5.715 centimeters. It was commonly used by tailors and fabric merchants in England to measure small lengths of fabric.

The term “nail” likely originates from the practice of marking lengths on a measuring stick with notches or nails, making it easy to measure fabric quickly. The nail was a convenient subdivision of the yard, with 1 yard = 16 nails.

Though obsolete today, the nail remains an interesting part of historical textile measurement systems.

Summary:

1 nail = 2¼ inches (5.715 cm)
1 yard = 16 nails
Used historically in tailoring and fabric trade
Originates from notches or nails on measuring sticks

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.
