Nautical League (Int.)
The international nautical league is a unit of length equal to three international nautical miles.
History/Origin
The international nautical league is based on the international nautical mile, which was defined as exactly 1,852 meters by international agreement in 1929.
Current Use
The nautical league is not a commonly used unit, with distances at sea typically being expressed in nautical miles.
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.
