What is Earth's Equatorial Radius?
Earth's Equatorial Radius is the radius of the Earth measured at the Equator. Its value is approximately 6,378.1 kilometers (3,963.2 miles). Due to Earth's rotation, it is slightly larger than the polar radius.
What is a Chain?
The chain (22 yards or 20.1168 m) was crucial in land surveying. Invented by Edmund Gunter in 1620, 10 square chains equal 1 acre. Modern surveyors still use 'chain' terminology.
