earth circum is 24862.52 and half is 12431.26

however the earth is not a perfect circle it's slightly wider than it is taller so

it's a little less 12429.91 miles or 65,629,924.8 feet from pole to pole

Is the distance around the equaor the same as the distance from the north pole to the south pole?

No, the distance around the equator is greater than the distance from the North Pole to the South Pole. The circumference of the Earth at the equator is roughly 40,075 kilometers, while the distance from the North Pole to the South Pole (along the meridian) is about 20,009 kilometers.


2. What is the angular distance from the Equator to the South Pole?

The angular distance from the Equator to the South Pole is 180 degrees. This is because the Earth is divided into 360 degrees of latitude, with the Equator at 0 degrees and the South Pole at 90 degrees south latitude. Hence, the distance from the Equator to the South Pole represents half of the Earth's latitude circle.


Why north south distance is less than east west distance?

The planet Earth is not a perfect sphere and the length from pole to pole is slightly shorter than the distance at the Equator. The east-west distance around the Earth at the Equator (its circumference) is 40,075 kilometers or 24,901 miles. The circumference taken pole-to-pole (north-south distance) would be 40,008 km / 24,860 miles.This is due to the gravitational pull of Sun, which causes the Earth to be slightly squashed from North-South and stretched from E-W.


Is the distance east or west from a given point on earth as measured pole to pole it is noted by?

The distance east or west from a given point on Earth as measured pole to pole is noted by the longitude. Longitude lines run north and south and are measured as angles east or west from the prime meridian, which is located in Greenwich, England.


What is the distance from the north pole to the south pole through the center of the earth?

well the density beetween the south pole and the north pole is 17254748000 miles between the two ecause that's what i heard from wikipedia check it out. -Edit (fxz) The density of the Earth varies per layer. Also, in the crust, there are minerals of differing densities. The inner core is the densest, then the outer core, followed by the other layers. In short, the Earth is densest in the middle and less dense at the outside, and is designed like a gigantic Ferrero Rocher chocolate. Therefore, there is no fixed density for the Earth, although the average density is (5.9742 × 10kg) divided by (1,083,207,317,374km3). That would yield approximately your result.

S the distance east or west from a given point on earth as measured pole to pole?

Please clarify your question. The distance from pole to pole is always the same. 20,014 kilometers, or 12,416 miles when you are measuring across the earths surface. Any points on the earth would have to have its distance from either pole extrapolated and then the number subtracted from the total distance of 12,416 miles to get the distance to the opposite pole. Formula distance to either pole= ( 12,416 - distance to opposite pole ) or 12,416 = X + Pole B Distance or 12,416 = Pole A Distance + X or Pole A Distance = 12,416 - Pole B Distance or Pole B Distance = 12,416 - Pol A Distance

What is the size of the earth from north to south pole?

What is the furthest distance from north to south?

The furthest distance from north to south (on the earth) would be the distance from the north pole to the south pole, or half of the earth's polar circumference. It's about 12,400 miles, just a little bit less than half-way around the equator.
