Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The Earth’s equatorial diameter is 12, 756 km, but from pole to pole, the diameter is 12, 714 km, so there is a difference of 42 km .
Detailed explanation-2: -The equatorial diameter Earth is about 7926 miles (12, 756 km) while the polar diameter is 7900 miles (12, 714 km). The equatorial circumference is approximately 24, 900 miles (40, 075 km).
Detailed explanation-3: -Because the Earth spins on its axis once a day, centrifugal force causes it to flatten somewhat, making the equatorial diameter larger than the polar diameter. This gives Earth a slightly oblate shape.
