Answer:

We calculate for the circumferences of Earth and moon by using the equation,

                               C = 2πr

For Earth,

                               C = 2π(6371 km) = 40030.2 km

For Moon,

                              C = 2π(1737.5 km) = 10917.0 km

The difference between the two circumferences is 29113.2 km approximately.
