What is Earth’s polar radius?

It is the distance from the Earth’s center to the mean geographic pole, measured along the rotation axis and equivalent to the semi-minor axis of a reference ellipsoid like WGS84.

What does the Planck length represent?

The Planck length is a natural length scale defined by fundamental constants, indicating the scale where classical ideas of space and distance break down and quantum-gravitational effects become significant.

Why convert Earth’s polar radius to Planck length?

This conversion links large geodetic measurements with fundamental quantum scales, useful in theoretical physics fields that combine geodesy with quantum gravity and space science modeling.
