No. The polar circumference of the Earth is smaller than the equatorial circumference by about 41 miles or about 67 km.
The Earth is a slightly "oblate spheroid" meaning it is slightly flattened (0.336%) at the poles, and bulging at the equator, due to its spin.
The equatorial circumference of the Earth is about 40,075 kilometers (24,901 miles).
The polar circumference of the Earth is about 40,008 kilometers (24,860 miles).

What else can I help you with?
Is Jupiter round?
In general, planets are considered round, although they may not be perfectly round. Jupiter's equatorial radius is about 71,500 km, and its polar radius is about 66,800 km, indicating that it bulges at the equator; it is a little "stouter" than it is "tall". Earth has the same general characteristic. No object in the solar system has a geometrically perfect shape, and it is not likely that any objects in the universe do, either.
What layer of the earths atmosphere is a high concentration of gas that shares the same name?
The ozone layer.
Can scientist who want to put a satellite into a polar orbit take advantage of earths rotation to give the rocket a boost?
The closer to the equator one builds launch facilities, the lower the thrust required to boost a rocket into orbit. If you stand in the center of a merry-go-round, you feel much less centripetal force than you feel on the edge, when it is spinning at the same rate.
What deposition can gradually fill up depressions in earths surface?
Deposition by erosion , could fill a depression , the same erosion creates depressions.
Are the temperatures at all points along the earth's equator the same?
No they are not all the same temperature but it is warm.
Is the thickness of earth atmosphere the same in polar regions as equatorial regions?
Yes, the thickness varies from te equatoral to the polar regions due to the Earth's rotation. The atmosphere is thicker at the equator than the poles. this is due to the earths rotation and centripital force.
What are the differences between a German equatorial mount and a standard equatorial mount?
A German equatorial mount has the counterweight bar on the opposite side of the telescope, making it easier to balance. It also has a polar scope for precise alignment. A standard equatorial mount has the counterweight bar on the same side as the telescope and may not have a polar scope.
What is the circumference of Venus?
The equatorial circumference of Venus is about 38,025 km or 23,627 miles.This is only slightly smaller than Earth (40,075 km).Often a planet's circumference around the equator is different from the pole-to-pole circumference, since the spinning of the planet on its axis flattens the planet out somewhat with a bulge at the equator. Venus rotates very slowly though, so its polar circumference is pretty much the same as the equatorial circumference.
How many times larger is earths cicumference than the moons circumference?
Their circumferences are in the same ratio as their diameters.
What is the size of the earth in kilometers?
The Earth is an oblate spheroid, slightly wider than it is tall. The polar diameter (North Pole to South Pole axis) is 12713.6 kilometers. The equatorial diameter is 12756.3 kilometers The equatorial circumference is 40075.017 kilometers.
Is equatorial circumference the same as radius?
No. The circumference is the distance around a circle or equaltor wheras the radius is the distance from the centre of a sphere (the centre of the earch if you will) to the surface. the diameter is twice the distance of the radius and is the distance from the surface of a sphere, through the middle point across to the other surface.
How do you spell 'Equatorial Guinea' in Spanish?
Its the same.
How does the size of Saturn compare to the size of the Earth and the Sun?
To be brief, it's much larger than the Earth, yet much much smaller than the Sun. Well first off, Saturn is a little tricky to measure because it is not completely spherical. Saturn, along with the rest of the Jovian planets, or Gas giants, is an oblate spheroid. What this means is that the planet is flattened at its poles and bulges out at the equator where its rings surround it. The polar circumference of Saturn is approximately 170,702 km, about 8.5 Earths. Its equatorial circumference is about 189,241 km, almost 9.5 earths. This compared to earth's mean circumference, about 40,000 km, makes earth pretty puny to Saturn. If Saturn were a basketball, Earth would barely be the size of a small marble.Compare that to the sun's whopping circumference of 4,379,000 km, this would take about 72 Saturns lined up next to each other to make a ring around the sun. It would take 109 planet Earths to do the same!
Is circumference and perimeter are same?
The perimeter of a circle is its circumference.
How is circumference and perimeter the same?
Circumference is the perimeter of a circle.
Is same-sex marriage legal in Equatorial Guinea?
No, same-sex marriage is not legal in Equatorial Guinea. The country's laws define marriage as between a man and a woman, and there are no provisions for same-sex couples to marry. LGBTQ+ rights are limited in Equatorial Guinea.
Why does more solar energy reach the equatorial regions than the polar regions?
Because the sun hits more directly at the equator. More sunlight is reflected off from the polar regions, and so less sunlight hits in the polar regions. NO! The sun's rays strike the polar regions at a lower angle, therefore delivering the same amount of energy, but spreading it over a greater area. This is what causes lower temperatures in the polar regions.
