Are the accuracy parameters of the W3C geolocation API in diameter or radius of your position?

Perhaps I thought it over incorrectly, after stfw I could not find information about it. When api geolocation returns your position with latency, longitude and accuracy (p.coords.accuracy), will the diameter of the parameter or the radius of your position change? For example, if the accuracy of my position is 24 meters, does this mean that I could stand somewhere within a radius of 24 meters from my position or within a radius of 12 meters from my position (which gives a diameter of 24 meters, me in the middle of the circle of accuracy)

Any help appreciated!

That would be the radius. Therefore, if the accuracy is 24, the true position is within 24 meters, which means that it will be within a circle with a radius of 24 around the coordinate.
