SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -As a result, the latest measurements indicate that the Earth has an equatorial diameter of 12, 756 km (7926 mi), and a polar diameter of 12713.6 km (7899.86 mi). In short, objects located along the equator are about 21 km further away from the center of the Earth (geocenter) than objects located at the poles.

Detailed explanation-2: -Its diameter (the distance from one side to the other through Earth’s center) is 7, 926 miles (about 12, 756 kilometers). Earth is slightly smaller when measured between the North and South Poles which gives a diameter of 7, 907 miles (12, 725 kilometers).

Detailed explanation-3: -Earth is the third planet of the solar system. It is almost spherical in shape with diameter about 12000 km. Q. Calculate the shortest distance from surface of earth to moon, if the diameter(d) of earth is 12, 700km and the angle () between diameter and line of sight is 88.97∘ as shown in the diagram.

Detailed explanation-4: -The diameter of a circle is twice the radius, giving us a diameter for Earth of 12, 756 km. Note: The Earth is almost, but not quite, a perfect sphere. Its equatorial radius is 6378 km, but its polar radius is 6357 km-in other words, the Earth is slightly flattened.

Detailed explanation-5: -The diameter of Earth, about 8, 000 miles, is about 4 times the diameter of the Moon.

Detailed explanation-6: -Earth has a rounded shape, through hydrostatic equilibrium, with an average diameter of 12, 742 kilometers (7, 918 mi), making it the fifth largest planetary sized and largest terrestrial object of the Solar System.
