[Image.] Mean circumference (C) is equal to twice the mean radius (2r) times the Archimedean constant (π): C = 2πr. The Terran mean radius (r🜨) is equal to one third of the sum of the equatorial radius (re) and twice the polar radius (2rp): r🜨 = (2rp + re)/3. [1]
Binary fractions of the Terran mean circumference (C🜨/2n). Values have a relative uncertainty of ±1.5696102362696618011051437320346 × 10−8. [2]
