What is the circumference from pole to pole?

You probably mean our Earth. The diameter d of Earth from North Pole to South Pole is 12,713.54 kilometers (7,899.83 miles), but through the equator it is 12,756.32 kilometers (7,926.41 miles). This difference, 42.78 kilometers (26.58 miles), is only 1/298 the diameter of Earth. Thus the Earth is 42.78 kilometers or 25 miles wider than it is tall, giving it a slight bulge at the equator. This is only 0.3 percent, too small to be seen visually. To calculate the circumference C use the formula: C = pi times d. pi = 3.141592654...


Why does the pole star appers stationary?

As the earth revolves in its orbit around the sun, it acts like a gigantic gyroscope. The tilt in the pole is always oriented (with some complex variations that can't be covered here) toward the pole star. The star is so far away that the width of earth's orbit doesn't have a great effect on the star's position in our sky. The pole star does appear to move a little. It is very close to the celestial position of the north pole, but it is not exactly on the point.
