The earth does not have a perimeter. The Perimeter is the distance around a circle. The earth is not a circle, but a sphere (sort of). The measurement around the earth is the circumference. Because the earth is not a perfect sphere, the circumference is different depending on whether you measure it horizontally (the equator) or vertically through the poles (Meridian).

∙ 12y agoThe 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).

What is the permiter of the Earth?
The average radius of the earth is 6.38x106 meters. Therefore, if the earth is taken to be a two dimensional object, its perimeter would be equal to the circumference of a circle with radius 6.38x106. Therefore, the perimeter = 2 x pi x 6.38x106 = 4.01x107 meters.
