Actually the answer given was not applicable to the question. The speed of rotation at Earth's axis depends on a number of factors, only partially touched by the previous answer. The Earth yields an equatorial speed of 465.1 m/s, 1,674.4 km/h or 1,040.4 mph. Some sources state that Earth's equatorial speed is slightly less, or 1,669.8 km/h. This is obtained by dividing Earth's equatorial circumference by 24 hours. However, the use of only one circumference unwittingly implies only one rotation in inertial space, so the corresponding time unit must be a sidereal hour.

What is the distance around the earth's equator in cm?
The distance around the Earth's equator is approximately 4,007,500,000cm.
What is the distance around the earth in feet at the equator?
How long is the equator?
Is it a greater distance from center of earth to the poles or center of earth to the equator?
I'm thinking center to equator
What is the distance the equator travels on land?
The distance around the Earth at the Equator, its circumference, is 40,075 kilometers (24,901 miles).
What is the distance around the world globe?
24,901.55 miles at the equator; 24,859.82 milesaround the poles.The difference is because the Earth is rotating very quickly, which causes it to bulge outward slightly at the equator, the area of fastest spin.

In miles distance around earth equator is what?
24,000
What does earth axis not pass through the north pole the south pole the equator or earth center?
the equator
How many miles is it through the Earth's core?
I'm not sure what exactly you're asking, but the distance from the Earth's surface at the equator, through the two cores (the outer core and the inner core), to the center of the Earth is approximately 3963 miles.
What is the size of the earth in miles?
I am not sure as to what exactly you are asking, but when we say the distance from the Earth's surface at the equator, through the two cores (outer and inner core), to the center of the Earth is approximately 3,963 miles.
Is the distance around the earth same at different latitudes?
Of course. The further away from the equator, the smaller the circle..or distance. The largest distance is always the equator...as this is the largest circumferance. from Newton.org.... "The circumference is given by 2 times pi times the radius, where pi is 3.14. The radius of the earth at the equator is about 6378 kilometers so the distance around the earth at the equator is 2 time 3.14 times 6378 which equals 40,074 kilometers. "
Why is distance around the equator measured at 24783mi when the distance around the earth is measured at 24901 mi?
The earth is slightly wider than it is tall, so the measurement around the equator is going to be a just over a hundred miles greater than the distance around the earth.
Why gravity is not same all over the earth?
Gravity on Earth is slightly stronger at the poles than at the equator, because the diameter of the Earth at the equator is larger than the diameter through the poles. So when you stand at a pole, you're closer to the center of the Earth, and that's the distance that determines the force of gravity between you and the Earth.
