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

What is earths diamiter?
The diameter of the planet Earth is about 8,000 miles. The equatorial diameter of the Earth is 12,756 kilometres, the North Pole to South Pole diameter is 12,712 km.
How many mile between south and north pole?
20,013.8 KM There are 20,013.8 Kilometers (12,436 miles)between the North and South pole.
5. In what direction is the equator from the South Pole?
The equator is North, as is everything else on earth when you are at the South Pole. From the south Pole, every direction is north.The North pole is the northernmost point on Earth. The South Pole is the southernmost point on Earth. The Equator is a line running circumferentially around the Earth and is midway between the poles. The Equator is south of the North Pole and north of the South Pole.All lines of latitude -- including the Equator -- are north of the South Pole.
What has north and south pole's?
The Earth has geographic North and South Poles, which are the points where the Earth's axis intersects its surface. Additionally, there are magnetic North and South Poles, which are not fixed and can move over time due to changes in the Earth's magnetic field.
Why does a magnet rest at its north-south position?
A magnet rests at its north-south position due to Earth's magnetic field. The north pole of a magnet is attracted to Earth's magnetic south pole, causing it to align in a north-south direction.
What is the size of the earth from north to south pole?
The diameter of the Earth from North pole to South pole is 7,899.83 miles. This is only 25 miles less then the distance around the equator, which is 7,926.41.
What is the definition of vertical in math?
The definition of vertical is dependent of the scale. On a small scale, it means going straight up, at right angles to the [levelled] surface of the earth at that point. Alternatively, going up the page. Because the earth is approximately spherical, the vertical direction at he equator is different from the vertical direction at the North Pole. On that scale, one could consider the line joining the South Pole to the North Pole as the vertical. But that definition fails when you consider the earth over its orbit. So you could define it in terms of the North and South poles of the sun. But the sun itself is not stationary and so on.
What is earths diamiter?
The diameter of the planet Earth is about 8,000 miles. The equatorial diameter of the Earth is 12,756 kilometres, the North Pole to South Pole diameter is 12,712 km.
What are the points farthest north and south on earth?
The point farthest north on Earth is the North Pole, located at approximately 90 degrees north latitude. The point farthest south on Earth is the South Pole, located at approximately 90 degrees south latitude.
Whats the worlds circumference?

Where is the vertical plane in earth?
A vertical plane is any plane where the normal (a line at 90 degrees to the plane) is horizontal. All your walls are vertical planes. The normal to the plane of the Earth's orbit is often used to define "up" and "down" for planet Earth. The Earth's axis is tilted at about 23.5 degrees away from this "vertical" line. Also you could define "vertical" as simply the direction shown by a plumb line. That's the definition which has walls as vertical planes. With either definition there will be more than one plane that is a vertical plane.
