What is Earth’s polar radius?

It is the distance from Earth’s center to the geographic pole, equivalent to the semi-minor axis of the reference ellipsoid, with the WGS84 ellipsoid value being 6,356,752.314245 metres.

What is an exameter (Em)?

An exameter is an SI unit of length equal to 10^18 metres, used to express extremely large distances in astrophysics and cosmology.

Why convert Earth’s polar radius to exameters?

This helps place terrestrial measurements into an astrophysical or cosmological context, allowing comparisons with vast cosmic distances.
