Convert point to Earth's equatorial radius
Enter a value below to convert point [point] to Earth's equatorial radius [R_e]. Reverse conversion: Convert Earth's equatorial radius to point.
1 point = 5.5310e-11 R_e. To convert point to Earth's equatorial radius, multiply the value by 5.5310e-11; to go the other way, divide by it (1 R_e = 18079757286.3 point). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

Point: Definition and Use
A point is a unit of typographical measurement. In the context of printing, it is approximately 1/72 of an inch.
History/Origin
The point system of typography was developed in the 18th century. It provides a standardized way to measure font sizes and leading.
Current Use
The point is the standard unit for measuring font sizes in both print and digital media.
Earth's Equatorial Radius: Definition and Use
The Earth's equatorial radius is the distance from the center of the Earth to the equator, approximately 6,378.1 kilometers.
History/Origin
The size and shape of the Earth have been a subject of study since ancient times. Modern measurements are made using satellite geodesy.
Current Use
The Earth's equatorial radius is a fundamental parameter in geodesy, geophysics, and astronomy. It is used in cartography and for defining the shape of the Earth.
