The difference between the equatorial and polar diametres of the earth is about Correct Answer 42 km

The difference between the equatorial and polar diametres of the earth is about 42 km. Due to spinning motion the Earth's equator area bulges out. There is difference of about 42 Kilometers between diameter at equator and at poles.
