Eratosthenes is credited with calclating the circumference of the Earth at the equivalent of 25,000 miles/40,000km in about 205 BCE.
yea dawg god's definatly formed ancient Greece but not the greek gods it was Jesus
Both Columbus and Magellan thought that they understood the Earths circumference, however this false understanding caused them to end up in the wrong place. Magellan, however, had a better understanding the world geography.
There are so far 4 Eras in the earths history. the one that started the beginning if the earths history: Precambrian Time. The one after that was the Paleozoic Era, which means "ancient life." next was mesozoic which means "middle life" the one we are in is called the Cenozoic Era which means" recent life." * All Eras ended with a mass extinction.
No the earths core is not a cause of globel worming
Earths lithosphere is made up of upper mantle. The earths lithosphere is broken into separate sections and it is called as tectonic plates or plate tectonics.

Earth's Circumference is 24,901 miles (40,075 km)
The circumference of the Earth measured between the North and South poles is approximately 40,007.86 kilometers.
google it :P (The circumference of the earth at the equator is 24,901.55 miles)
From Hellenistic culture we get theories on astronomy, mathematics, and physics. Aristarchus's theories include, that the sun was 300 times larger than the earth, but he grossly underestimated it, and the earth and other planets revolve around the sun. Eratosthenes estimated earths circumference to be 28,000-29,000 miles long, close to the actual circumference. From Hellenistic culture we get the Pythagorean theorem and pi (the ratio of a circumference of a circle to its diameter) Archimedes (who also estimated pi) discovered the law of the lever. He invented a screw that lifts water from the ground and the pulley.
The square root of the earths circumference divided by the elevation of Mt. Kilimanjaro.
The moon is about one fourth the size of the Earth. It has an equatorial circumference of 10,917 kilometers, or 6783.5 miles.
The circumference of the earth in miles is about 24,901 miles. The diameter is about 7,926 miles.
the circumference of Jupiter or its equatorial diameter is 71,492 ± 4 km(11.209 times that of earths)
Their circumferences are in the same ratio as their diameters.
0 since there is no such thing as "cercumferance"! However, the earth's circumference is approx 4.0*107 metres.
approximately 109 earths would fit around the circumference of the sun
