Long Cubit
A long cubit is an ancient unit of length, slightly longer than the common cubit. Its length varied but was often around 20.6 inches.
History/Origin
The long cubit, or royal cubit, was used in ancient Egypt for monumental construction.
Current Use
The long cubit is an obsolete unit of measurement.
Earth's Equatorial Radius
The Earth's equatorial radius is the distance from the center of the Earth to the equator, approximately 6,378.1 kilometers.
History/Origin
The size and shape of the Earth have been a subject of study since ancient times. Modern measurements are made using satellite geodesy.
Current Use
The Earth's equatorial radius is a fundamental parameter in geodesy, geophysics, and astronomy. It is used in cartography and for defining the shape of the Earth.
