There are a surprising number of earth's physical constants that can be approximated using various algebraic combinations of the following four numbers:
10330 3055 2 0.40
A few additional approximations (four digits) can be obtained from values used in the Bully Mnemonic. These include an approximate relationship of the speed of light to the Earth's radius (r ≈ 6371), Schwarzschild radius (R), standard gravitational parameter (μ = MG ≈ 3.984e14), and a typical gravitational acceleration on earth's surface (g ≈ 9.813 ).
