What does Earth's equatorial radius represent?

It is the distance from Earth's center to the equator measured along the equatorial plane, standardized as 6,378.137 kilometers in geodesy.

An aln is a traditional Scandinavian length unit historically used for measuring cloth and distances, with variations depending on country and era.

Why convert Earth's equatorial radius to aln?

This conversion aids in relating large-scale geodetic measurements to historical Scandinavian length units, useful for interpreting old maps, building records, and textiles.
