360 degrees x 60 minutes = 21,600 minutes of arc for full circumference = 21,600 nautical miles (one minute of arc at equator = one nautical mile).
21,600 nautical miles = 24,872.7272...statute miles = 40,028.7 kilometres.
For all practical purposes 40, 000 km. = circumf. at equator.
7926 miles and 12760 km. Thats Pretty long.
The angular distance north or south of the earths equator, measured in degrees, along a meridian, as on the map or globe.
Celestial Equator
the diameter of Saturn is 74,900 miles (120,540 kilometers).
at the equator.
google it :P (The circumference of the earth at the equator is 24,901.55 miles)
The circumference of the earth in miles is about 24,901 miles. The diameter is about 7,926 miles.
The Earths circumference at its widest point, the equator, is about 24,500 miles (off the top of my head)
Summer and winter
7926 miles and 12760 km. Thats Pretty long.
The circumference of the Earth at the equator is about 24,901 miles, or 40,075 km. Earth is not a sphere, but is "flattened" at the poles. or oblate spheroid.
The angular distance north or south of the earths equator, measured in degrees, along a meridian, as on the map or globe.
That's the Earth's radius. It's about 6378 kilometers at the equator. That's 3963 miles.
