What does the Earth's equatorial radius represent?

It is the distance from Earth's center to the equator measured along the equatorial plane, used in geodesy and related sciences.

Is the finger (cloth) a standardized unit?

No, it is a traditional, informal unit based on the breadth of a human finger and varies by person and context.

Can I use this converter for precise scientific calculations?

No, due to the non-standard nature of the finger unit, this tool is intended for educational or illustrative use only.
