Rope
A rope is an archaic unit of length, typically varying from 20 to 24 feet.
History/Origin
The length of a rope as a unit of measurement was not standardized and varied by location and trade.
Current Use
The rope as a unit of length is obsolete.
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.
