International Nautical League
The international nautical league is a standardized version of the nautical league used in maritime navigation. It is defined as exactly 3 international nautical miles, which equals 5,556 meters or about 3.45 miles. This standardization helps avoid confusion caused by variations in historical definitions of the league. While the nautical mile remains the primary unit in modern navigation, the international nautical league provides a consistent way to measure longer distances at sea when needed.
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.
