The equator is located at zero degrees latitude. The equator runs through Indonesia, Ecuador, northern Brazil, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Kenya, among other countries. It is 24,901.55 miles (40,075.16 kilometers) long. On the equator, the sun is directly overhead at noon on the two equinoxes - near March and September 21. The equator divides the planet into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.

It is about 30 feet.
The length of the equator is how the NFL came up with 10 yards as the distance for a first down.

I belive someone has measured it to be between 24000 and 25 thousand miles of circumference .
However it can be calculated using the mass of the earth and the acceleration at that point C=2pi x(r^2=G x mass/acceleration)^.5

The circumference of the earth at the equator is 24,901.55 miles (or 40,075.16 "kilometers" if you live in a communist country). A quick Yahoo search of "circumference of earth" got this result:

Try an encyclopedia in a library.

Length of equator is the diameter of the planet earth.
Its 40,075.02 km.
