The **distance **around the **earth **from **east **to wester than the distance from north to south is 24,859.73 kilometers . It is 67.3 kilometers apart.
What is distance ?
**Distance **is a measurement of how far apart two things or points are, either numerically or occasionally qualitatively . Distance can refer to a physical **length **in physics or to an **estimate **based on other factors in common usage.
The **size **or extent of the displacement between two **points **is referred to as distance. Keep in mind that the distance between two points and the distance traveled between them are not the same. The **length **of the entire journey taken to get from one point to another is the **distance **traveled.
Both of these **numbers **are quite close to the recognized modern estimates for the **Earth's **diameter and radius , which have since been determined by **orbiting **spacecraft and are 40,070 km and 6378 km, respectively.
Thus, The **distance **around the earth from east to wester than the distance from north to south is 24,859.73 kilometers.

The distance around the Earth from east to west is approximately 40,075 kilometers, while the distance from north to south is about 40,008 kilometers. This results in a difference of approximately 67 kilometers, with the equatorial circumference being larger. This difference is due to the Earth's shape as an oblate spheroid.
