  2. Earth's circumference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth's_circumference

    t. e. Earth's circumference is the distance around Earth. Measured around the equator, it is 40,075.017 km (24,901.461 mi). Measured passing through the poles, the circumference is 40,007.863 km (24,859.734 mi). [1] Measurement of Earth's circumference has been important to navigation since ancient times. The first known scientific measurement ...

  3. Earth radius - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_radius

    Earth's circumference equals the perimeter length. The equatorial circumference is simply the circle perimeter: C e =2πa, in terms of the equatorial radius, a. The polar circumference equals C p =4m p, four times the quarter meridian m p =aE(e), where the polar radius b enters via the eccentricity, e=(1−b 2 /a 2) 0.5; see Ellipse# ...

  4. Earth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth

    Earth is rounded into an ellipsoid with a circumference of about 40,000 km. It is the densest planet in the Solar System. Of the four rocky planets, it is the largest and most massive. Earth is about eight light-minutes away from the Sun and orbits it, taking a year (about 365.25 days) to complete one revolution.

    Currently most of the objects of mass between 10 9 kg to 10 12 kg (less than 1000 teragrams (Tg)) listed here are near-Earth asteroids (NEAs). The Aten asteroid 1994 WR12 has less mass than the Great Pyramid of Giza, 5.9 × 10 9 kg. For more about very small objects in the Solar System, see meteoroid, micrometeoroid, cosmic dust, and ...

  6. Figure of the Earth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Figure_of_the_Earth

    t. e. In geodesy, the figure of the Earth is the size and shape used to model planet Earth. The kind of figure depends on application, including the precision needed for the model. A spherical Earth is a well-known historical approximation that is satisfactory for geography, astronomy and many other purposes.

  7. Mercury (planet) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury_(planet)

    The planet's density is the second highest in the Solar System at 5.427 g/cm 3, only slightly less than Earth's density of 5.515 g/cm 3. [4] If the effect of gravitational compression were to be factored out from both planets, the materials of which Mercury is made would be denser than those of Earth, with an uncompressed density of 5.3 g/cm 3 ...

  8. Solar radius - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_radius

    Solar radius is a unit of distance used to express the size of stars in astronomy relative to the Sun. The solar radius is usually defined as the radius to the layer in the Sun 's photosphere where the optical depth equals 2/3: [ 1] 695,700 kilometres (432,300 miles) is approximately 10 times the average radius of Jupiter, 109 times the radius ...
