Question

What is the distance once around the world in miles

Answer 1

It's 24901.55 miles around the equator but less(I don't know how much!) on the north/south axis because the poles are flattened.

Answer 2

The circumference of the earth at the equator is 24,901.55 miles

But, if you measure the earth through the poles the circumference is a bit shorter - 24,859.82 miles. The earth is a tad 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).

Answer 3

24,898

if i remember correctly

25,046

is what i found online which is probably right since my previous number i remember from eighth grade 16 years ago.
