What is the Earth's equatorial radius?

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

How long is a statute mile?

A statute mile equals exactly 1,609.344 meters or 5,280 feet, used commonly for road distances.

Why convert Earth's radius to miles?

This conversion helps translate large geodetic measurements into familiar units used in daily life and navigation.

Examples

Convert 1 Earth's equatorial radius to statute miles resulting in approximately 3963.20 miles.
Convert 0.5 Earth's equatorial radius to statute miles giving about 1981.60 miles.

Common Use Cases

Converting planetary or geodetic distances into miles for mapping and navigation.
Applying geodesy and cartography data in contexts needing mile-based surface distances.
Relating satellite orbits and ground tracks to familiar units for aerospace engineering.

Tips & Best Practices

Use the converter for large-scale geodesy and cartography length conversions.
Remember statute miles are surface distance measures, distinct from nautical miles.
Consider the scale when interpreting results, as Earth's radius describes large planetary dimensions.

Limitations

Earth's equatorial radius is a geodetic constant not commonly used for everyday length measurements.
Statute miles measure surface distances and do not account for altitude or variations of Earth's shape.
Approximate conversions require attention to context and scale for practical use.
