What are the Earth's pole-to-pole circumference and equatorial circumference measurements?
4000km,40,700km ... ur welcome.
Is the Earth's equatorial circumference the same as the polar circumference?
No. The polar circumference of the Earth is smaller than the equatorial circumference by about 41 miles or about 67 km. The Earth is a slightly "oblate spheroid" meaning it is slightly flattened (0.336%) at the poles, and bulging at the equator, due to its spin. The equatorial circumference of the Earth is about 40,075 kilometers (24,901 miles). The polar circumference of the Earth is about 40,008 kilometers (24,860 miles). See related questions and links for additional details.
How many kilometers in a degree at the equator?
Earth's equatorial radius is 6,378 km, so its circumference is 40,074 km (2 x pi x 6378). Dividing its circumference by 360 yields 111.32 km per degree.
How many sq km is planet earth?
Earth's Circumference at the Equator: 24,901.55 miles (40,075.16 km) Earth's Circumference Between the North and South Poles: 24,859.82 miles (40,008 km) Earth's Diameter at the Equator: 7,926.28 miles (12,756.1 km) Earth's Diameter at the Poles: 7,899.80 miles (12,713.5 km)
What is an equatorial satellite?
A satellite in an equatorial orbit flies along the plane of the Earth's equator. If an orbit does not lie at an equatorial orbit, then it will not remain at a fixed state.
