This is called the diameter. Radius is from the center of the circle to the outside.
The Diameter can be found using these formulas. C=2(pie)r or A=(pie)r^2.
Sorry didnt know how to type in a pie symbol. But C - Circumference, R- Radius.
Double the radius to find the diameter. Good luck! Hope i answered your question.

Do all chords of a circle pass through the center of a circle?
No, not all chords of a circle pass though the center of that circle. Any cord that does pass through the center of the circle is called diameter of that circle.
What is a chord that passes though the center of a circle?
The diameter
What is a line segment that connects two points on a circle but does not pass though the center?
a chord
What is the circumference of a 66 inch round circle?
circumference is the distance around the circle, so it sounds as though you are stating the circumference in your original question; 66 inches.
Is earth's distance of 1 AU from the sun's edge or center?
From the center. You should also bear in mind though, that 1AU is 149,597,870.691 kilometres which is slightly less than the mean distance between the Sun and the Earth.
How can you prove that a diameter divide a circle into 2 equal pieces?
The diameter is a straight angle (180 degrees). The diameter goes through the center of the circle Angles which go through the center of the circle divide the circle into sectors whose area obeys the formula Area = Angle/360 * PI (i'm using a unit circle) that's the approach i'm thinking... not totally sure if that's valid though.
Why does your weight appear to change evrn though you never left earths gravity?
I am not entirely sure what you are after, but your weight will change depending on the distance from Earth's center. The force of gravity depends on distance.
What does pi the formula in math stands for?
In certain formulas, including most that involve circles, you will see 'pi'. This pi always has the same value, approximately 3.14159... However, this number is irrational, which means it never terminates (ends) or repeats. But what exactly is pi? Pi is the ratio between any circle's circumference and its diameter. This ratio is always the same, no matter how big or small the circle is, but the degree of precision might vary depending on how big the circle is. Why is Pi useful? Pi allows us to calculate the diameter or area of any circle, but also has many other uses. In order to use these formulas, though, we need to define the terms we are using. Circumference - the distance around the circle Diameter - the length of a straight line segment that passes through the center of the circle Radius - the distance from the center of the circle to the circle itself To calculate the circumference, multiply the diameter by pi (3.14...) To calculate the area, square the radius, then multiply this by pi (3.14...) In symbols: Circumference = diameter x pi Area = (radius)2 x pi Hope this helped.
What is the chord that passes through the centre of a circle?
The chord that passes through the center of a circle is called the diameter. The measure of this chord is also called the diameter, and is used in calculations such as finding the circumference of a circle (Circumference equals pi times the diameter).^^wrong...it is eitherSecant or tangent im pretty sure its SECANT though...
What are the types of circle?
In 2D, there is the regular circle and the oval. In 3D, there is the sphere (I am not entirely certain this a considered a circle though).
Does the Arctic Circle pass though more land than the Antarctic Circle?
Yes.
How do I find the latitude and longitude Point A for a specific point based on a known latitude and longitude Point B and a known distance between Point A and Point B Is there a formula?
If we understand the question, you're describing a circle on the surface of the earth, with its center at 'Point B', and its radius equal to the known distance. According to your specifications, 'Point A' can be any point on the circle. If you were to also specify the 'azimuth' (bearing or compass direction) from 'Point B' to 'Point A', then 'Point A' could be located by means of a formula which, though comparatively neat and tidy, would need to involve quite a bit of trigonometry.
