How big you are? You please quantify your self. Relatively you can quantify the earth.
Eg. In terms of area - the earth is BIG.
In terms of communication - the earth is SMALL.

What is the circumference of the Earth? How far around is the Earth?
The average radius of the Earth is 3,959 miles (6,374 kilometers).
The equitorial diameter of the Earth (distance from one side of the Earth to the other at the equator) is about 7,926 miles.
The ratio of the circumference to the diameter of a circle (circumference/diameter)
is written as the symbol pi.
Pi is approximately 3.141592.
3.14159265
3.1415926535
Therefore, to determine the circumference from the diameter given above:
equitorial diameter x 3.141592 = equitorial circumference
| |
7,926 x 3.141592 = 24,900
| |
The earth has a circumference of approximately 24,900 miles.
