and would it change if you went around the earth a different way for example if you went over alot of mountains it would obviously have to be longer than if you went accross flat land, wouldnt it?

The circumference of the earth
at the equator is 24,902 mi / 40,076 km.
Oh and yes it would change with mountains and also take into account the shape of the earth, it's egg shaped.

25000 approx give or take 10 miles as it is just about 24991 the equiverlent knowledge needed for a full motorbike or car licence: you can pass before that: but things will not come to you until you achive one reverlution wich is 25000 estimated: after that your bike rides and car are second nature: but evenif you do these miles on a provisional without the test: you still do not qualifi for a full car and motorbike licence.Why? Because there is no evidence to say you did: and scammers will pretend to be you and get a licence: and then crash : if uou did all them mils on a CBT then taking atest would be your second nature anyway: but if you have leaning difficulties like mental health issues: then you would have learned that the 125 L Plate machine is as fast as you can go on a motorbike anyway (73 over 60mph( average speed of 60mph over distance: with a top speed of 73mph to maintain the mile a minute average) motorbike cannot hold the road aswell as cars can and thee fore are slower: cars can achieve 70mph over 70mph ( a average speed of 70mph over distance with a top speed of 87mph) why it is calculated like this is because when they judge land sped records they do not count your max speed: the only count your average speed speed : so there for your average speed is "really your top speed" thats why people travel at 87mph on the Motorways its called "87 over 70) in the UK but if the stopped limit goes up then it puts the price of the standard car up by £1100 and £550 on a motorbike: so that idea went out the window in 2013 as they already travel at 87mph so why raise it to 80: when the top speed would be 98 to maintain the average speed of 80mph: 250 bikes are not 98 over 80mph: they will be but not yet. as they are rarely set by the manufacturers to go past 88mph not 98mph> you will have to de restrict them your selves: this is because 250cc use to be 55mph 70 years ago: and then they was slowly de restricted over time: same price though at 55mph around £4500 as they are today: alloy wheeled version and disk brake slightly more but not £5000

Approximately 27,000 miles, but the Earth is an oblate spheroid, so the distance around the equator is more than that around the poles.

Hope you get the correct answer here as there would appear to be a vast difference in them - I thought it was huge, but I think it is about 25,000 miles or so I was told, but surely it is longer?

24,904 miles is the last measure given however pole to pole would be approximately 25 miles more due to the oblong or egg shape of the planet.

The distance around Earth is 91,402,725 miles.
No the distance is the same no matter how you go.

The answers that are in the 25,000 range are correct. Anyone that said a number in the millions needs to get a better grasp of distances.

depends if you go around the earth at the equator or 1metre south of the north pole.
