I feel the question should be what is the circumference of earth -\nIt is -\nThe average radius of the Earth is 3,959 miles (6,374 kilometers).\nThe equitorial diameter of the Earth (distance from one side of the Earth to the other at the equator) is about 7,926 miles.\n\nThe ratio of the circumference to the diameter of a circle (circumference/diameter) \nis written as the symbol pi. \nPi is approximately 3.141592.\n3.14159265\n3.1415926535\n\nTherefore, to determine the circumference from the diameter given above:\nequitorial diameter x 3.141592 = equitorial circumference\n| |\n7,926 x 3.141592 = 24,900\n| |\nThe earth has a circumference of approximately 24,900 miles.\n\n\nMore precisely the circumference of the earth (or distance around earth)\nat the equator is 24,902 mi / 40,076 km. \n\nso the answer is 24,902 miles or 40,076 kms.

The moon's distance from the Earth is on average, 384400 km. Converted to inches that comes out to 15,133,858,267.65 inches (a little over 15 billion)\nHowever, due to an eliptical orbit, the moons distance varies from 363,258 km at its nearest point to 405,542 km at its farthest point. Converted that comes out to 14,301,496,062.93 inches at its nearest point to 15,966,220,472.37 inches at its farthest.\nSo, yes, the moon is about 15 billion inches away.  However, at any given time, it can vary anywhere from 14 billion to almost 16 billion inches from the Earth\nBest Wishes

The average distance from the Moon to the Earth is 384,403 kilometers (238,857 miles); it is slowly moving away at about the same rate as your fingernails grow (about 4 cm a year).

The circumference of the earth from pole to pole is roughly 24,860 miles. Since the distance of the north pole to the equator is 1/4 of the circumference then I calculate it to be approximately 6215 miles.\n\n:)

http://hypertextbook.com/facts/2001/DanielChen.shtml\n\nEarth has a surface area of 196,940,400 square miles, slightly less than a perfect ball with a diameter of 7913.5 miles (which is the mean diameter of the Earth - see "Prove it" under 103).\n\nhttp://pages.prodigy.net/jhonig/bignum/qland2.html

about 1000 mph.\n\napprox #'s here--earth is 25,000 miles in circuvfrence, 24 hours per day.   this is at equator.\n\ni am thinking, the farther away from equator, the speed can be progressivly slower.

The Earth's circumference at the equator is 24,901.55 miles. Since the Earth rotates, it bulges outward at the equator, resulting in a measurement that is larger than if Earth did not rotate. Also, since it bulges at the equator, it contracts at the poles, resulting in a much smaller measurement than the equator: 24,859.82 miles.

What is the circumference of the Earth? How far around is the Earth?\n\nThe average radius of the Earth is 3,959 miles (6,374 kilometers).\nThe equitorial diameter of the Earth (distance from one side of the Earth to the other at the equator) is about 7,926 miles.\n\nThe ratio of the circumference to the diameter of a circle (circumference/diameter) \nis written as the symbol pi. \nPi is approximately 3.141592.\n3.14159265\n3.1415926535\n\nTherefore, to determine the circumference from the diameter given above:\nequitorial diameter x 3.141592 = equitorial circumference\n| |\n7,926 x 3.141592 = 24,900\n| |\nThe earth has a circumference of approximately 24,900 miles.\n\nMore precisely the circumference of the earth\nat the equator is 24,902 mi / 40,076 km. \n\n------------------\n\nHow fast would you have to travel to see the sun set twice, \nor outrun the shadow of the setting sun?\n\nSince the sun "travels" once around the earth every 24 hours, \nwe can get the speed by dividing the circumference of the earth by 24:\n\nmiles divided by hours\n| |\n24,900 / 24 = 1,038 miles per hour\n\n....\n\nA RATIO of a to b can be expressed in three ways:\n1. a : b\n2. a / b\n3. a ÷ b

About 92.9 million miles on average. This is also 147 million kilometers. The actual amount varies over time because the earth's orbit isn't a perfect circle. In astronomical terms, this is *very* close. If you made a scale model with the distance from the earth to the sun as 1 inch, then the distance to the nearest star (other than the sun) would be 4.3 *miles*.

Earth has a total surface area of 196,800,00 square miles. Approximately 57,300,00 square miles, or 29% of the total surface area is land. Water covers approximately 139,500,000 square miles, or 71% of the total surface area.

At the Equator it is 7,926 miles to the Earth's core. To find the distance to the core from other locations on earth you find the circumference at the location and divide that distance by 3.14

First ... assume an average diameter (or radius) for the planet.\n\nThe average radius normally given is 3963.1 miles (6378 km).\n\nCircumference of a circle = 2 * pi * r = pi * d\n\nCircumference = (2) * (3.14159) * (3963.1) = 24900.9 miles\n... which is approximately 40074 km.
