    The orbital speed of Earth averages about 29.78 km/s (107,200 km/h; 66,600 mph), which is fast enough to travel a distance equal to Earth's diameter, about 12,742 km (7,918 mi), in seven minutes, and the distance from Earth to the Moon, 384,400 km (238,900 mi), in about 3.5 hours.

  6. 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).

  7. Unit of length - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_of_length

    The basic unit of length in the imperial and U.S. customary systems is the yard, defined as exactly 0.9144 m by international treaty in 1959. [2] [5] Common imperial units and U.S. customary units of length include: [6] thou or mil (1 ⁄ 1000 of an inch) inch (25.4 mm) foot (12 inches, 0.3048 m) yard (3 feet, 0.9144 m)

  8. Geographical mile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geographical_mile

    The geographical mile is an international unit of length determined by 1 minute of arc (⁠ 1 / 60 ⁠ degree) along the Earth's equator. For the international ellipsoid 1924 this equalled 1855.4 metres. [1] The American Practical Navigator 2017 defines the geographical mile as 6,087.08 feet (1,855.342 m). [2]

    The MERU, or Milli Earth Rate Unit, is an angular velocity equal to 1/1000 of Earth's rotation rate. It was introduced by MIT's Instrumentation Laboratories (now Draper Labs) to measure the performance of inertial navigation systems. [82] One MERU = 7.292 115 × 10 ^ −8 radians per second [83] or about 0.2625 milliradians/hour.
