Earth is classified as the largest of the terrestrial planets based on its circumference and diameter as well. At the equator, Earth's circumference is 24,901.55 miles (40,075.16 km). It is slightly smaller between the North and South poles at 24,859.82 miles (40,008 km).Earth's diameter at the poles is 7,899.80 miles (12,713.5 km) while it is 7,926.28 miles (12,756.1 km) at the equator. For comparison, the largest planet in Earth's solar system, Jupiter, has a diameter of 88,846 miles (142,984 km).arth's Size. As the largest of the terrestrial planets, Earth has an estimated mass of 5.9736 Ã 10 24 kg. Its volume is also the largest of these planets at 108.321 Ã 10 10 km 3. In addition, Earth is the densest of the terrestrial planets as it is made up of a crust, mantle and core.
by Jerry Coffey on March 8, 2009. The size of Earth, like the size of all of the celestial bodies, is measured in a number of parameters including mass, volume, density, surface area, and equatorial/polar/mean diameter.While we live on this planet, very few people can quote you the figures for these parameters.Below is a table with many of the pieces of the data used to measure the size of the Earth.arth orbits with a perihelion of 147,098,290 km, and an aphelion of 152,098,232 km, making for a semi-major axis of 149,598,261 km. Even though we need oxygen to survive, it is the second most abundant component of Earthâs atmosphere. Nitrogen accounts for 78% of the gases in the atmosphere and oxygen occupies 21%.
