| 1. | The equatorial radius is about 30.7 % greater than the polar radius.
|
| 2. | The value for the equatorial radius is defined to the nearest 0.1 m in WGS-84.
|
| 3. | Due to its rapid rotation, the primary has a polar radius about and an equatorial radius of about.
|
| 4. | This is of course related to the fact that the polar radius is about 21 kilometers less than the equatorial radius
|
| 5. | Assume that the spheroid, an ellipsoid of revolution, has an equatorial radius a and polar semi-axis b.
|
| 6. | Where " M " and " R e " represent the mass and mean equatorial radius of the body.
|
| 7. | And a and b are the equatorial radius ( semi-major axis ) and the polar radius ( semi-minor axis ), respectively.
|
| 8. | The new flattening estimate was one part in 298.257 222 101 and the equatorial radius was 6, 378, 136.8 metres.
|
| 9. | :: : : If the Earth were a sphere, you would just multiply the equatorial radius by the cosine of the angle of latitude.
|
| 10. | For comparison, the equatorial radius of the planet Jupiter is 71, 492 km, which is 65 % as large as Wolf 359's.
