The diameter of Earth is revised

A Surveyors Bonn University study led to the sudden and dramatic revision of the diameter of Earth, the planet was substantially lower than expected. However, the absolute value of the diameter of Earth's climate (specifically parameters geoid) is low - Physorg says, it is a millimeter. Nevertheless, the implications of the change for Geodesy and satellite positioning system can be significant - millimetre accuracy coordinate measurement has long been achieved through the GPS receivers. Research carried out by radiointerferometer network watching for distant extragalactic radiosources - quasars.
