The diameter of the earth at the equator is 12,756.32 kilometers or 7,926.41 miles. The diameter of the earth through the poles is 12,715.43 km or 7,901.000 miles. Thus the earth is 41 km or 25 miles 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 the equatoral circumference of the earth?
The diameter of the earth at the equator is 12,756.32 kilometers or 7,926.41 miles. The diameter of the earth through the poles is 12,715.43 kilometers or 7,901.002 miles. Thus the earth is 41 km or 25 miles 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 ball).
How many times greater is the suns diameter than the diameter of earth?
The sun's diameter is about 1.4 million kilometers, which is more than 100 times earth's diameter.
The earth's polar diameter is shorter than the equatorial diameter by how many miles?
Oh honey, the Earth's polar diameter is about 7,900 miles, while the equatorial diameter is roughly 7,926 miles. So, grab a calculator and do the math, because that's a difference of about 26 miles. Just remember, size isn't everything, darling.
What is the distance between the earth and Jupiter?
