Solutions
... Note that the Earth’s radius is expressed here in meters, because the density is expressed in meters, and the units must be the same, for the answer to make sense. Also note that the units of cubic length cancel, since there is an m3 in the denominator on the left, and an m3 in the numerator on the ...

The Earths interior overview
... The earth's interior is neither all solid nor is it all molten. There are layers with a different density, thickness and composition. Furthermore the earth's crust is not one continuous layer. It is broken into many sections known as plates. Some plates are quite small while others are quite large. ...

History of geodesy
Geodesy (/dʒiːˈɒdɨsi/), also named geodetics, is the scientific discipline that deals with the measurement and representation of the Earth. The history of geodesy began in antiquity and blossomed during the Age of Enlightenment.Early ideas about the figure of the Earth held the Earth to be flat (see flat earth), and the heavens a physical dome spanning over it. Two early arguments for a spherical Earth were that lunar eclipses were seen as circular shadows which could only be caused by a spherical Earth, and that Polaris is seen lower in the sky as one travels South.
