Believe it or not, the Earth is not a perfect sphere. The equator of the Earth is approximately 12,755 π kilometer whereas the prime meridian (think, north-south equator) is approximately 6367 π kilometer. Approximate the surface area of the Earth to the nearest whole kilometer by averaging the surface area found by both the equator and prime meridian!
