What is a micron [µ]?

A micron is a unit of length equal to one millionth of a meter, commonly used to measure microscopic dimensions such as particles or cells.

What does Earth's equatorial radius represent?

It represents the distance from the Earth's center to the equator along the equatorial plane, used in geodesy and satellite calculations.

Why convert from microns to Earth's equatorial radius?

To relate extremely small microscopic lengths to a planetary scale, aiding contextual understanding in geodesy, aerospace, and Earth science research.
