What does Earth's equatorial radius represent?

It is the straight-line distance from the Earth's center to the equator measured along the equatorial plane, used in geodesy and cartography.

Why convert Earth's equatorial radius to miles?

To express Earth-related geodetic or aerospace distances in imperial units commonly used in navigation, mapping, and land measurement.

Are miles used globally for distance measurement?

No, miles are primarily used in countries with Imperial or US customary units, while many regions use only metric units.
