Radius Of The Earth |
|
||||
| The radius of the Earth is the circumference divided by $2\pi.$ Given the circumference is 40 million metres, that makes the radius about 6366km. | This is important when measuring the distance to the horizon, and things like orbital velocity, or the distance to the moon. |
