The mean radius of earth is : 6,731.0 kilometers

The mean radius of Earth moon is : 1,737.5 kilometers

The difference in their circumference is given as :

Circumference = 2 * Pi * r where Pi = 3.14 , r = radius

Applying the formula for Earth will give.

C= 2 * 3.14 * 6731 = 42,292.12

For the case of the moon

C= 2 *3.14 * 1,737.5 = 10,917.03

The difference in there circumference is ;

42,292.12 -10,917.03 = 31375.08

Answer

31375.1 kilometers
