Convert terameter to Earth's polar radius
Enter a value below to convert terameter [Tm] to Earth's polar radius [R_p]. Reverse conversion: Convert Earth's polar radius to terameter.
1 Tm = 157313.035463 R_p. To convert terameter to Earth's polar radius, multiply the value by 157313.035463; to go the other way, divide by it (1 R_p = 6.3567523e-06 Tm). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

Terameter: Definition and Use
A terameter is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10^12 meters.
History/Origin
The prefix "tera-" for 10^12 was adopted by the CGPM (General Conference on Weights and Measures) in 1960.
Current Use
The terameter is used for measuring distances within our solar system, such as the distances of outer planets from the Sun.
Earth's Polar Radius: Definition and Use
The Earth's polar radius is the distance from the center of the Earth to the North or South Pole, approximately 6,356.8 kilometers.
History/Origin
The fact that the Earth is an oblate spheroid, flattened at the poles, has been known since the 18th century. Modern measurements are made with high precision.
Current Use
The Earth's polar radius is a key parameter in geodesy and is used to define the Earth's shape and gravitational field.
