Volume of the Earth

The volume of Earth is 1,083,206,246,123,080,894,852 m3, or around 1.0832×1021 m3, in scientific notation.


Calculation

Earth is an oblate spheroid, resembling a sphere flattened at the poles.

The volume of an oblate spheroid is

<math>V = \frac{4}{3}\pi a^2 b</math>

where <math>\pi</math> is the mathematical constant pi, and <math>a</math> and <math>b</math> are the equatorial and polar radii.

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