What is the Earth's equatorial radius?

The Earth's equatorial radius is the straight-line distance from the Earth's center to the equator along the equatorial plane, measured as 6,378.137 kilometers in the WGS84 standard.

What does one attometer represent?

An attometer is an SI unit of length equal to one quintillionth of a meter (10^-18 meter), used to express exceedingly small distances in physics.

Why convert Earth's radius to attometers?

Converting Earth's radius to attometers helps link vast planetary distances with minute subnuclear scales for theoretical physics and multi-disciplinary research.
