The earth is an oblate spheroid: it is somewhat flattened at the poles and bulges at the equator. As a result, its equatorial diameter is 43 kilometres greater than the polar diameter. It is, therefore not possible to give an answer to your question to the degree of accuracy demanded when you have not specified which measure you want. The average diameter is 12742 km.
