The circumference of the Earth is just a tad over 40,000,000 meters. This isn't a coincidence; the meter was supposed to be exactly 1/40,000,000 th of the Earth's circumference, but they missed it by a little.

What is the 25000 miles long line around the earth?

The 25,000-mile-long line around the Earth refers to the Earth's circumference, which is the distance around the planet at the equator. This measurement highlights the Earth's spherical shape and serves as a fundamental reference point for navigation and geography. The circumference varies slightly depending on where it is measured due to the planet's oblate spheroid shape, but the equatorial measurement is commonly used.

What is the equilateral circumference of the earth?

The equatorial circumference of the Earth is approximately 40,075 kilometers (24,901 miles). This measurement represents the distance around the Earth at its equator, where it is widest. The Earth's shape is not a perfect sphere but an oblate spheroid, causing slight variations in circumference when measured around the poles.

Is the circumference of the earth measured around the surface or the atmosphere?

It is measured around the surface of the earth. The atmosphere has its own measurement excluded from that of the Earth. The Equator is bulged, and the Poles slightly flattened. The figure given is for sea level, and ignores any mountains. The Poles are about 21.4 km closer to the centre of the Earth than the Equator is.

Where does the bulge of earth occur?

The Earth is not a perfect sphere. The rotation of the planet has caused the Earth to 'bulge' to a certain extent. The distance around the Equator is further than any other measurement of the circumference.
