A statute mile is 5280 feet, a nautical mine is 6000 feet (1000 fathoms)
Assuming the question is asked "at the equater" then the following applies:
40,075.02 km is the equatorial circumference of Earth
divide that by 1.6093 to get it in miles (statute) =
24902.255 statute miles
Now, to get this in Nautical miles multiply it by the conversion from above (5280/6000) = 21913.98 Nautical miles.

Equatorial circumference
= 24,901.55 statute miles = 21,638.86 nautical miles
Polar circumference
= 24,859.82 statute miles = 21,602.59 nautical miles

the circumference is different around the equator than around the poles
check your other question and use the link i gave you and you will find the answer to both ways

I heard it was in the general area of 25,000 miles. It could be completely false though.
