The Earth takes 365.256366 days to orbit the Sun at 107,218 kph.

This equates to a distance of 939,889,368 kilometers or 584,020,177 miles.

So about 1 billion kilometers or 600 million miles.

The formula is PI * SquareRoot of 2 * ((1/2 long axis) squared + (1/2 short axis) squared).

Gives 940,102,506 kilometers.

If the orbit of Earth around the Sun was a perfect circle, it would be about 584,000,000 miles. It isn't a perfect circle, and is more elliptical, so it is harder to know for sure, though 584,000,000 wouldn't be that far out.

This seems a bit low to me. There are at least two ways you might estimate it:

1) If you believe that the Earth's orbital velocity around the sun is 108,000 km/h (Wikipedia), and that the Earth travels at this rate for about 365.25 days, then the total distance it travels would be 365*24*108,000, which equals 946,728,000 km

2) For a rough estimate you could assume a circular orbit with radius 150,000,000km (again, Wikipedia), in which case the circumference is 2*pi*150,000,000 = 942,477,796 km.

You can see that this second result is smaller, and one might expect that, given that the orbit is actually elliptical. Hope this helps!

The Earths orbital distance from the sun is 149,597,890km (92,955,820 miles) on average, 147,098,290km (91,402,641 miles) at its closest and 152,098,232km (94,509,461 miles) at its furthest. The average sun to Earth distance is how one Astronomical Unit is defined (1 AU).

The Earth's orbit is not a perfect circle but an ellipse whose eccentricity is 0.0167 (a perfect circle has eccentricity = 0). Its semi-major axis is 149,600,000 km. At its nearest (perihelion) the Earth is 147,100,000 km from the Sun and at its furthest (aphelion) it is 152,100,000 km.

The Earth is about 8000 miles in diameter, so use the formula for circumference of a circle.

The average circumference of our planet Earth is approximately 8000 x pi, or 25,133 miles.

Why equatorial distance is greater than polar distance of earth?

The Earth rotates on its axis. This causes it to bulge very slightly around its equator, which makes it wider there. This also causes the poles to flatten slightly.

What is Polar Circumference?

The polar circumference of the Earth is any great circle that includes both poles. It is shorter than the equatorial circumference because the Earth's spin makes it bulge at the equator, while it is flattened at the poles. The polar circumference at MSL would be 40,008 km, compared to the equatorial circumference of 40,075 km.The term "polar circumference" can also refer to the Arctic and Antarctic circles, which are roughly 66.56 degrees N and S latitude.
