2. Earth radius - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_radius

   Earth radius (denoted as R 🜨 or R E) is the distance from the center of Earth to a point on or near its surface. Approximating the figure of Earth by an Earth spheroid (an oblate ellipsoid), the radius ranges from a maximum (equatorial radius, denoted a) of nearly 6,378 km (3,963 mi) to a minimum (polar radius, denoted b) of nearly 6,357 km (3,950 mi).

3. Geodetic coordinates - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geodetic_coordinates

   Geodetic latitude and geocentric latitude have different definitions. Geodetic latitude is defined as the angle between the equatorial plane and the surface normal at a point on the ellipsoid, whereas geocentric latitude is defined as the angle between the equatorial plane and a radial line connecting the centre of the ellipsoid to a point on the surface (see figure).

   m 1 is the mass of the primary in Earth masses (M E) m 2 is the mass of the secondary in Earth masses (M E) a (km) is the average orbital distance between the centers of the two bodies; r 1 (km) is the distance from the center of the primary to the barycenter; R 1 (km) is the radius of the primary

6. Earth ellipsoid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_ellipsoid

   A data set which describes the global average of the Earth's surface curvature is called the mean Earth Ellipsoid. It refers to a theoretical coherence between the geographic latitude and the meridional curvature of the geoid. The latter is close to the mean sea level, and therefore an ideal Earth ellipsoid has the same volume as the geoid.

7. Gravity of Earth - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravity_of_Earth

   The gravity g′ at depth d is given by g′ = g(1 − d/R) where g is acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Earth, d is depth and R is the radius of the Earth. If the density decreased linearly with increasing radius from a density ρ 0 at the center to ρ 1 at the surface, then ρ(r) = ρ 0 − (ρ 0 − ρ 1) r / R, and the ...

9. Earth's inner core - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth's_inner_core

   Earth's inner core is the innermost geologic layer of the planet Earth. It is primarily a solid ball with a radius of about 1,220 km (760 mi), which is about 20% of Earth's radius or 70% of the Moon's radius. [1] [2] There are no samples of the core accessible for direct measurement, as there are for Earth's mantle. [3]
