Convert fermi to Earth's equatorial radius
Please provide values below to convert fermi [F, f] to Earth's equatorial radius [R_e], or Convert Earth's equatorial radius to fermi.
How to Convert Fermi to Earth's Equatorial Radius
1 F, f = 1.5678559428874e-22 R_e
Example: convert 15 F, f to R_e:
15 F, f = 15 × 1.5678559428874e-22 R_e = 2.3517839143311e-21 R_e
Fermi to Earth's Equatorial Radius Conversion Table
| fermi | Earth's equatorial 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 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.
