All atoms have a (theoretical) atomic radius, even Calcium. Ok, so what is the atomic radius of an atom of Ca?
Note: Learn more about the atomic radius here.
In the case of Calcium the atomic radius is 2.23 Å. There are cool facts about Calcium that most don't know about. Let me show you...
Learn more about the atomic mass.
Learn more about the atomic number.

That gives credibility to your paper and it is sometimes required in higher education.
To make your life (and citation) easier just copy & paste the information below into your assignment or essay:
Luz, Gelson. "Atomic Radius of Calcium (Ca) [& State, Uses, Discovery ..." Materials. Gelsonluz.com. dd mmmm. yyyy. <URL>
Now replace dd, mmmm and yyyy with the day, month, and year you browsed this page. Also replace URL for the actual url of this page (The < and > stay, ok?). This citation format is based on MLA.

SolidUses
Used by many forms of life to make shells and bones. Virtually no use for the pure metal, however two of its compounds are, lime (CaO) and gypsum (CaSO4), are in great demand by a number of industries.Atomic Mass

Sources
Obtained from minerals like chalk, limestone & marble. Pure metal is produced by replacing the calcium in lime (calcium carbonate, CaCO3) with aluminium in hot, low pressure retorts.Description
Fairly hard, silvery-white metal. Fifth most abundant element in the earth's crust (41,500 ppm). Occurs only in compounds.Atomic Symbol
