How do you figure out the distance around a globe?

Answer 1

Figure that time zones are approximately 1000 miles wide. And there are 24 timezones across the world (24 hours in a day) not counting the ones off by 1/2 hour or whatever. Therefore, approximately 24000 mile circumference would be one good but rough guess based on the average width of the time zones. Or just look it up on Google!

Answer 2

On a globe theres an element called a "key" the purpose of this item is to tell you exactly how much distance it is, its usually written in inches or finger lengths.
