kilometer to Earth's equatorial radius
Please provide values below to convert kilometer [km] to Earth's equatorial radius, or change ↔.
kilometer [km]
Definition: A kilometer is a unit of length equal to 1,000 meters.
Historyandorigin: Derived from the meter, the kilometer was introduced in the late 18th century as part of the metric system.
CurrentUse: It is commonly used to measure long distances, such as between cities.
funfact: The prefix 'kilo-' comes from the Greek word 'khilioi,' meaning 'thousand.'
Earth's equatorial radius
Definition: The Earth's equatorial radius is a unit of length equal to approximately 6,378.1 kilometers.
Historyandorigin: It is based on measurements of the Earth's shape.
CurrentUse: It is used in geophysics and astronomy.
funfact: The Earth's equatorial radius is slightly larger than its polar radius due to the Earth's rotation.

How to Convert kilometer to Earth's equatorial radius
1 kilometer [km] = 0.000156785 Earth's equatorial radius
1 Earth's equatorial radius = 6378.16 kilometer [km]
we use cross multiplication method
kilometer [km] → Earth's equatorial radius
1 → 0.000156785
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*0.000156785=1*x
by simplifying
x=0.0002351775
