Reed
A reed is an ancient unit of length, typically about 6 cubits or around 9 feet.
History/Origin
The reed was a common unit of measurement in ancient Mesopotamia and the surrounding regions.
Current Use
The reed 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.
