The diameter of the earth at the equator is 7,926.41 miles or 12,756.32 kilometers.

The diameter of the earth through the poles is 7,901.002 miles or 12,715.43 km 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).

12,742 km = 7,918 mile (mean)

At the equator it is about 7,927 miles and at the poles it is about 7,900 miles.
