Question

what is difference between east-west and south- North diameter of Earth
​

Answer 1

Answer:

The planet's rotation causes it to bulge at the equator. Earth's polar radius is 3,950 miles (6,356 km) — a differenceof 13 miles (22 km). Using those measurements, the equatorialcircumference of Earth is about 24,901 miles (40,075 km). ... This shape, caused by the flattening at the poles, is called an oblate spheroid

Answer 2

Answer:

Here is your answer..

Explanation:

12,756 km

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.
