Answer:
Geodesy is the science that studies the shape and size of the Earth. ... This means the earth's equatorial diameter is 7,926 miles, while its polar diameter is 7,900 miles. Although the difference between equatorial and polar diameters is only 26 miles, the oblate shape of the earth complicates geographical matters.
