The circumference of the earth at the equator is 24,901.55 miles (40,075.16 kilometers).
If you measure the earth through the poles the circumference is a bit shorter - 24,859.82 miles (40,008 km)
This the earth is a tad wider than it is tall, giving it a slight bulge at the equator. This shape is known as an ellipsoid or more properly, geoid (earth-like).
The reason the answer's 40 million meters is because one meter was defined in 1793 as one ten-millionth of the distance from the north pole to the equator (you'd have to go 4 times further to go all the way around - hence - 40 million).

How long does it take to go around the earth at light speed?
The circumference of the Earth is ~24902 miles or 40,076,000 meters. This speed of light is 299,792,458 m/s. So it takes 0.134 seconds to go around the earth once.
What is an acceleration that is 9.8 meters?
Acceleration is expressed in meters/second2, not in meters. Normal Earth gravity produces an acceleration of 9.8 meters/second2.
What is the acceleration of gravity in meters?
"Meters" is not a unit of acceleration.The acceleration of gravity on or near the surface of the Earth is about9.8 meters/second2 .It's different in other places.
What is the wave of an electromagnetic wave that has a1-hz frequency?
That would be a 'radio' wave with a wavelength about 71/2 times the Earth's circumference.
When the french scientist first adopted the metric system what real-world measurement did they relate to the definition of the meter?
What they thought was the circumference of the Earth.
What is Earth's circumference at the equator?
The circumference of the Earth measured at the equator is 24,901.55 miles, or 131,480,184 feet or 40,075.16 kilometers, or 40,075,160 meters.
What is the measurement around earth?
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 approximate circumference of a circle with a diameter of two meters?
-- Exact circumference = 2pi meters -- Approximate circumference = 6.283 meters
