Our planet is measured in miles (diameter)
It means land or earth measurement.
Literally, its origins lie in the measurement of the Earth. Measurement in the sense of the area of a field, or the length of a road. "Geo" means Earth and "Metra" means measurement. Both of these words are Ancient Greek in origin.
Geometry means land or earth measurement
greek geometria means the measurement of earth or land from ge "earth, land" and metria "to measure."
The branch of mathematics that deals with the measurement of the Earth is called "geodesy." It involves the study of the Earth's geometric shape, orientation in space, and gravitational field. Geodesy combines principles from geometry, physics, and engineering to accurately measure and represent the Earth's surface, enabling applications in navigation, mapping, and understanding tectonic movements.

Linear measurement just means measurement of length in a straight line
Elevation -- a measurement of height above sea level in this case -- means the same in Antarctica as it does on any continent on earth.

Geometry
Metrology is the science of measurement.
This is a measurement used to record the height of a person. This specific measurement means that a person is 6 foot tall.
It comes from the ancient Greek for mother. Mother Earth is an old belief.
