Volume Of The Earth





CALCULATION

Earth is an Oblate spheroid, resembling a Sphere flattened at the Poles .

The volume of an oblate spheroid is

:V = rac{4}{3}\pi a^2 b

where \pi is the mathematical constant '' Pi '', and a and b are the Equator ial and Polar Radii .

Substituting ''a'' = 6,378,135 m and ''b'' = 6,356,750 m, we get the above Earth volume.
