What is a centiinch [cin]?

A centiinch is a nonstandard length unit equal to one hundredth of an inch or exactly 0.254 millimeters, used for finer measurement scales.

Why convert Earth's radius to centiinch [cin]?

To express vast geodetic distances in a smaller unit that interfaces well with manufacturing or engineering dimensions based on hundredths of inches.

How to Convert from Earth's Equatorial Radius to Centiinch [cin]
