about our unniverse.

Nobody could tell you exactly. Even astronomers can't agree to this answer. They can only say that "it is estimated" or "the approximate size of the universe" blah, blah, blah. Also, we don't have numbers that express the vastness of something at this scale...
And even if none of what I said above existed, no one could give you a correct answer unless you changed your question to say "at such and such Earth Time on such and such a date, what is the exact..." becuase the universe is constantly expanding at an astonishing rate. With each passing second, the diameter of the universe is vastly larger than the previous second. It hurts my head just trying to actually visualize or comprehend....
So, good luck! I can't blame you for being curious!

First of all it is not a circle or sphere. Second, why did you write down this question is geography and not in Astronomy? And there is a theory that says that our universe is expanding...so. Third, English is not my first language, but I can tell you totally misspelled unniverse

You mean the Milky Way, or the whole universe?
And from what point taken as the center for measure.
Still, couldn´t be exact, imagine having a cellulose(that´s our universe) that moves, expands, and contracts, so you should give an exactly given time to have something really close to the right number but never exact.

read last week's Time magazine. there is a really interesting article on the universe. from what i got out of it (im not a theoretical astrophysicist), the universe doesnt necessarily go on "forever, but if you were to shoot out a straight line from your eyes, it would eventually come back and hit you in the back of the head. it's kind of like discovering that the earth isnt planar, but round. apparently, so is the universe, but in a much less understandable way.
so my guess to your question would be that you can't measure it by distance, but rather by time or another more complex measurement.

The universe has been around for about 15 billion years, and the outer edge of the universe is expanding at the speed of light, so that means the universe is 30 billion light years wide (15 in each direction), and it expands at a rate of two light years per year. Does that make sense? One light year is 5,878,499,812,499 miles.

what will be ... is a futuristic question and if that's under the presumption that the universe is expanding then you need to say a time frame of "When" you want to know the diameter. One thing I CAN aswer your question with now is that there is "exactly" one "n" in universe, *smiles*

That would be 1 universe unit wide. for example a universe twice the size of our universe would be 2 universe units
