Convert fermi to Earth's polar radius
Please provide values below to convert fermi [F, f] to Earth's polar radius [R_p], or Convert Earth's polar radius to fermi.
How to Convert Fermi to Earth's Polar Radius
1 F, f = 1.57313035463093e-22 R_p
Example: convert 15 F, f to R_p:
15 F, f = 15 × 1.57313035463093e-22 R_p = 2.3596955319464e-21 R_p
Fermi to Earth's Polar Radius Conversion Table
| fermi | Earth's polar radius |

Fermi
A fermi is a unit of length equal to a femtometer, which is 10⁻¹⁵ meters.
History/Origin
The fermi is named after the Italian-American physicist Enrico Fermi. It was a popular unit in nuclear physics.
Current Use
The femtometer is the officially recognized SI unit, but the fermi is still used informally in nuclear and particle physics.
Earth's Polar Radius
The Earth's polar radius is the distance from the center of the Earth to the North or South Pole, approximately 6,356.8 kilometers.
History/Origin
The fact that the Earth is an oblate spheroid, flattened at the poles, has been known since the 18th century. Modern measurements are made with high precision.
Current Use
The Earth's polar radius is a key parameter in geodesy and is used to define the Earth's shape and gravitational field.
