Radius in Gravitation Formulas

The Radius of the sphere helps defines a three-dimensional counterpart of a circle, with all its points lying in space at a constant distance from the fixed point. And is denoted by R. Radius is usually measured using the Meter for Length. Note that the value of Radius is always positive.

FAQ

What is the Radius?

The Radius of the sphere helps defines a three-dimensional counterpart of a circle, with all its points lying in space at a constant distance from the fixed point. Radius is usually measured using the Meter for Length. Note that the value of Radius is always positive.

Can the Radius be negative?

No, the Radius, measured in Length cannot be negative.

What unit is used to measure Radius?

Radius is usually measured using the Meter[m] for Length. Millimeter[m], Kilometer[m], Decimeter[m] are the few other units in which Radius can be measured.
