The moon's diameter is 2,159 miles (3,475 kilometers) and its circumference is 6,790 miles (10,864 kilometers). The moon is 27 percent the size of the Earth.

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
No, the moon does not have a circumference since it is a three-dimensional object with a spherical shape. The moon does have a circumference if you refer to the distance around its equator, which is approximately 10,917 kilometers.
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 moon's circumference at its equator is... 10,921 km
The circumference of the moon is 6,790 miles (10,927 km). The circumference of Mercury is 9,525 miles (15,329 km). Mercury is larger than the moon.
The circumference of the moon is approximately 10,921 kilometers.
It seems quite strange that the circumference of the Moon, as observed from the Earth, matches the circumference of the Sun. The perimeter of a circle or of an ellipse is called the circumference.
6790 mi = 35,851,200 in
From geometry it is known that the circumference of a circle is 2*pi*r - where r is the radius. Assuming the orbit of the moon is a circle, then the distance traveled in one orbit is the circumference of the circle.
The moon: area - 14,645,750 square miles; mass - 73,477,000,000,000,000,000,000 kilograms
The circumference of a circle is calculated using the formula C = π × d, where d is the diameter. Therefore, the circumference of the moon would be approximately 10,919 km when rounded to the nearest thousand kilometers using π ≈ 3.14.
