Convert twip to Earth's equatorial radius
Enter a value below to convert twip [twip] to Earth's equatorial radius [R_e]. Reverse conversion: Convert Earth's equatorial radius to twip.
1 twip = 2.7655e-12 R_e. To convert twip to Earth's equatorial radius, multiply the value by 2.7655e-12; to go the other way, divide by it (1 R_e = 361594940728 twip). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

Twip: Definition and Use
A twip (twentieth of a point) is a unit of typographical measurement equal to 1/1440 of an inch.
History/Origin
The twip was invented by Microsoft as a device-independent unit for layout calculations in its software.
Current Use
The twip is used internally by some software programs for screen and print layout.
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.
