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] Treating the Earth as a sphere, its circumference would be its single most important measurement. [2]
In 2019, 39 million km 2 (15 million sq mi) of Earth's land surface consisted of forest and woodlands, 12 million km 2 (4.6 million sq mi) was shrub and grassland, 40 million km 2 (15 million sq mi) were used for animal feed production and grazing, and 11 million km 2 (4.2 million sq mi) were cultivated as croplands.

1:100,000 maps are divided into squares representing 1 km 2, each square on the map being one square centimetre in area and representing 1 km 2 on the surface of the Earth. For 1:50,000 maps, the grid lines are 2 cm apart. Each square on the map is 2 cm by 2 cm (4 cm 2) and represents 1 km 2 on the surface of the Earth.

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).

If a resolution of 10 meters is enough, the final digit of the easting and northing can be dropped, so that only 4 + 4 digits are used, representing a 10-meter square. If a 100-meter resolution is enough, 3 + 3 digits suffice; if a 1 km resolution is enough, 2 + 2 digits suffice; if 10 km resolution is enough, 1 + 1 digits suffice. 10 meter ...
