From the Equator to the South Pole is a distance of 10001.96572931272 km or 6214.93336994000 miles or 5400.62944347339 nautical miles.
Distance calculated using an online geodesic calculator. It is "accurate to about 15 nanometers [0.000015 mm or 0.00000059 of an inch] (for the WGS84 ellipsoid)". "The accuracy of 15 nanometers" "is for paths up to half-way round the earth."
The most accurate methods for calculating geographical distance, ignoring changes in height, are ellipsoidal-surface formulae. "An ellipsoid approximates the surface of the earth much better than a sphere".
The WGS84 ellipsoid (ellipsoid of revolution also known as a reference ellipsoid) is a relatively simple mathematical model of the Earth. And the distance is calculated along the surface of the WGS84 ellipsoid. The surface of this ellipsoid approximates the geoid, the Earth's mean sea level. The WGS84 ellipsoid's deviation from the geoid ranges from a maximum of about 85 m (279 feet) below the geoid off the coast of Iceland. However, another source states a maximum of 85.4 m (280 feet) below the geoid east of New Guinea. To a maximum of about 107 m (351 feet) above the geoid south of India.
