The polar circumference (logitudinal circumference) of the Earth is about 40,008 kilometers (24,860 miles). The equatorial circumference of the Earth is about 40,075 kilometers (24,901 miles).
More Precisely:
Earth is not a perfect sphere, but is an oblate spheroid, .336% flattened along the North-South axis. As a consequence, a line of longitude wrapped around the Earth going through the north and south poles is about 24,860 miles, or 40,008 km long. The circumference of the Earth at the equator is about 24,901 miles, or 40,075 km. That makes the Earth's circumference about 41 miles, or a bit more than 67 km larger around its middle than around its poles.
Caveat: The numbers for circumference are necessarily slightly approximate because the surface of the Earth is irregular (mountains, valleys, etc.) so different estimates of circumference may differ by a mile (or kilometer) or so. In addition, though the equator is a well defined line, the polar circumference can be different depending on the line of longitude and that adds additional variability.
The circumference of Venus is very nearly the same as the Earth's. The Earth has a circumference of about 40,000 km while Venus has 38,000 km, making Venus' circumference about 95% the circumference of the Earth.
The circumference of Earth at the equator is about 24,874 miles.
circumference
Venus and Earth is very similar in size. The diameter of Venus is only 635 kilometers smaller than Earth's. The mass of Venus is 81.5 percent of the Earth's mass.
The moon is about one fourth the size of the Earth. It has an equatorial circumference of 10,917 kilometers, or 6783.5 miles.
The Earth is 3.64 times larger than Moon's Circumference. (Earth's Circumference) 39,843 divide by (Moon's Circumference) 10,921=3.64
The circumference of Venus is very nearly the same as the Earth's. The Earth has a circumference of about 40,000 km while Venus has 38,000 km, making Venus' circumference about 95% the circumference of the Earth.
== == Given that the circumference of the earth is 40,075.02 km (measured at the equator) the circumference in inches is roughly 1,577,756,664 inches.
Multiply the diameter by pi to find the circumference
The circumference of the Earth at the equator is 24,902 miles. From pole to pole is 24,860 miles.
Best guess for Earth Circumference is 24,900 miles (40,080 km)
The circumference of the earth in miles is about 24,901 miles. The diameter is about 7,926 miles.
The circumference of Earth at the equator is about 24,874 miles.

by going arround the earth
The disturbance from an earthquake propagates as a wave. This wave can be either longitudinal or transverse. (Since waves that pass through the Earth's core are always longitudinal, geologists conclude that the Earth is liquid. A liquid won't transport transverse waves.)
