Calculated Earth circumference: 32769.54 km. Comments: I realized how big the earth is and it doesn't take a rocket scientist or a lawyer to figure out the earth's circumference. (Sorry if I can't spell it, we learned it in french! LOL!) The project was fun and entertaining because of our super-fun teacher, Mr. Buchin. :-) !@#$%^&*() :-) When we started the project, the clouds were coming in and out and we were getting mad at the wind!
