How long would a string 1 inch above the earths surface at the equator have to be?
The earth's equator is approximately 40,075 kilometres. There is no exact value because, amongst other things, the equator is not static: it moves with shifts in the axis of the earth's rotation.
However, using calculus, it is possible to show that the length of the string would need to be 2*pi inches = 6.3 inches greater than the length of the equator measured in inches. Given the variability in measuring the earth's equator, that difference will not be identifiable.

The string on a kite is tight and makes an angle of 25 degrees with the horizontal Find the height of the kite if 150 feet is let out and the end of the string is 4.5 feet above the ground?
Use the sine ratio to find the height of the kite: sine = opposite (height of kite with the horizontal) divided by the hypotenuse (the string) Rearrange the formula: sine*hypotenuse = opposite sine 25 degrees*150 = 63.39273926 feet Height of kite above the ground: 63.39273926+4.5 = 67.89273926 feet Therefore the kite is 68 feet above the ground to the nearest foot
Which of the above terms indicates imaginary parallel lines that circle the earth?
The term that indicates imaginary parallel lines that circle the Earth is "latitude." Latitude lines run horizontally around the globe, measuring the distance north or south of the Equator. These lines are used in geographic coordinate systems to help locate positions on the Earth's surface.
What is the maximum depth a water spill will be on a flat surface?
Any, depending on the volume of water spilt and the area of the flat surface. The specific height is also constrained by the surface tension of the water, the atmospheric pressure above it, and the gravity below it.
What do we call a measure of height above earths surface?
Height above earths surface is called elevation

Which country is above the equator?
There is no such country. The equator, and all of the Earth's countries, all cling steadfastly to the surface.
Do cirrus clouds form near or far from earths surface?
Cirrus clouds form far above the Earth's surface, typically at altitudes above 20,000 feet. They are thin and wispy in appearance and are composed of ice crystals.
