The system map records the radius of the same body as "6,234 KM"
The journal reports the radius in metres, but EDDI converts it to kilometres by default.
I just added this line into EDDI and set reportbody to 59 Arietis 1.
It has a radius of {reportbody.radius} kilometers.
EDDI spoke this line as "It has a radius of 6234 kilometers."
I thought that I'd proved it to be meters rather than kilometers, but with further testing I can confirm that you're right. Closed.
Planetary radius is reported in meters. The documentation for EDDI (variables.md) incorrectly indicates that the radius is reported in kilometers.
