The diameter of the earth at the equator is 12,756.32 kilometers or 7,926.41 miles. The diameter of the earth through the poles is 12,715.43 kilometers or 7,901.002 miles. Thus the earth is 41 km or 25 miles 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 ball).

The circumference of the earth from pole to pole is how many miles?

The polar circumference of the earth is 24860.535 miles (according to www.koordinaten.de/english/informations/earth.shtml)

Is the Earth's equatorial circumference the same as the polar circumference?

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). See related questions and links for additional details.


Compared to the circurcumference of the earth through the poles the circumference of the earth around the equator is what?

The circumference of the Earth around the equator is approximately 40,075 kilometers (24,901 miles), while the circumference through the poles is about 40,008 kilometers (24,860 miles). This means the equatorial circumference is slightly larger due to the Earth's equatorial bulge caused by its rotation. The difference is about 67 kilometers (41 miles), highlighting the Earth's oblate spheroid shape.


What is the distance to the middle of the earth?

AnswerThe average radius of the Earth is 3,959 miles (6,374 kilometers). The equatorial diameter of the Earth (distance from one side of the Earth to the other at the equator) is about 7,926 miles. The ratio of the circumference to the diameter of a circle (circumference/diameter) is written as the symbol pi. Pi is approximately 3.141592. 3.14159265 3.1415926535Therefore, to determine the circumference from the diameter given above: equatorial diameter x 3.141592 = equitorial circumference | | 7,926 x 3.141592 = 24,900 | | The earth has a circumference of approximately 24,900 miles.More precisely the circumference of the earth at the equator is 24,902 mi / 40,076 km.a North-South circumference, however (passing through both North and South Poles) is slightly less, as the Earth is not a sphere but an oblate spheroid, somewhat fattened in its North-South axis but the effect of rotation.The Earth's circumference is about 24,900 miles.The circumference of the Earth is approximately 40,000 kilometers or 25,000 miles.

How do you determine the circumference of the earth if you know a circumference of a smaller latitude and the number of degrees the latitude is from the equator?

Circumference of the earth at particular latitude can be determined using the formula, Circumference of the earth = 2*PI*r*cos(Φ0) where r = radius of the at particular latitude r = R * (1 - ((1 / 298.25722356) * (0.5 - 0.5 * COS (2 * Φ0)))) R= radius of the earth at equator Φ0= latitude


How to calculate the circumference of the Earth?

To calculate the circumference of the Earth, you can use the formula C 2r, where C is the circumference, is a constant (approximately 3.14159), and r is the radius of the Earth. The average radius of the Earth is about 6,371 kilometers. Plug this value into the formula to find the circumference.
