What are the units (meters/kilometers/feet etc.) for cylinder radius while creating cylinder using Cesium API. Refer code below:

What are the units of cylinderRadius and cylinderUpperHeight?

viewer.entities.add({

name : “”,

position: Cesium.Cartesian3.fromDegrees(longitude, latitude, altitude),

cylinder : {

   length : cylinderUpperHeight,

   topRadius : cylinderRadius,

   bottomRadius : cylinderRadius,

   material : Cesium.Color.GREEN.withAlpha(0.2),

   outline : true,

   outlineColor : Cesium.Color.GREEN.withAlpha(0.2)

},

});

I have the input for them in nautical miles so I have to convert them to required units.

Please suggest.

Thanks in advance!!

Hello,

All linear measurements in Cesium are in meters, and radial measurements are in radians.

Best,
