The circumference of the earth at the equator is 24,901.55 miles (40,075.16 kilometers).
But, if you measure the earth through the poles the circumference is a bit shorter - 24,859.82 miles (40,008 km). This the earth is a tad wider than it is tall, giving it a slight bulge at the equator. This shape is known as an ellipsoid or more properly, geoid (earth-like).

we know the radius of earth is 6400km
in order to convert into mile
1 miles = 1.609 km
.. miles = 6400km
6400/1.609 = approximately 3,976.62585 miles
we know circumference = 2*3.14*3,976.62585 = approximately 24,973.210388
it is difficult for me to find accurate..
i m sorry that i cannot..
