What is an equatorial radius?
The Earth’s equatorial radius a, or semi-major axis, is the distance from its center to the equator and equals 6,378.1370 km (3,963.1906 mi). The equatorial radius is often used to compare Earth with other planets.

Who is bigger Venus or Earth?
Size and Distance The planet is nearly as big around as Earth – 7,521 miles (12,104 kilometers) across, versus 7,926 miles (12,756 kilometers) for Earth. From Earth, Venus is the brightest object in the night sky after our own Moon.

How did they find the radius of Earth?
This means that Eratosthenes estimated the circumference of the Earth to be about 40,000 km. He also knew that the circumference of a circle was equal to 2 times π (3.1415…) times the radius of the circle. (C = 2πr) With this information, Eratosthenes inferred that the Earth’s radius was 6366 km.
Which has the largest diameter?
Answer: HEY MATE!! Jupiter is the largest planet in the Solar System, measuring some 142,984 km (88,846 mi) in diameter.
Which is the largest planet with the largest radius?
Radius of the Planets. Jupiter is the largest of all the planets. It has a radius of 71,492 kilometers at the equator and a radius of 66,854 kilometers at the poles. This is a difference of 4,638 kilometers, which is almost twice Mercury’s radius. Jupiter has a radius at the equator 11.2 times Earth’s equatorial radius.
Which is the largest planet at the equator?
Venus has the same diameter at the poles and at the equator though because it spins so slowly. Earth is the largest of the four inner planets with a radius of 6,378 kilometers at the equator.
What is the equatorial radius of a star?
The equatorial radius is the distance from the planet’s/star’s center to its equator and is often used to compare it with planets.
Which is the second largest planet in our Solar System?
Saturn has an equatorial radius of 60,268 kilometers and a radius of 54,364 kilometers at the poles making it the second largest planet in our Solar System. The difference between its two radiuses is a little more than twice the radius of Mercury. Uranus has an equatorial radius of 25,559 kilometers and a radius of 24,973 kilometers at the poles.
