The Earth is not a perfect sphere but an oblate spheroid, meaning it is slightly flattened at the poles and bulging at the equator. The distance from the North Pole to the South Pole (top to bottom) is approximately 12,714 miles (20,000 kilometers). However, the equatorial diameter is about 7,926 miles (12,756 kilometers), which is wider due to the Earth's bulge.
