"The distance around the Earth,is 24,906 miles. This means if you were driving non-stop at the speed limit of 65 miles per hour, it would take you 383. 2 hours, or nearly 16 days to make the trip! If you're driving, get a good set of water wings for your car"

The circumference of the Earth around the equator is 24,902 miles, however if you measured it around the poles you would find it to be shorter, at about 24,860 miles. You would have to travel at a speed of approximately 1,040 miles per hour to outrun the sun and shadows.

The answer to this question depends on the latitude at which one traverses the globe, but at the equator, a circumnaviagtion of the earth would be roughly 25,000 miles. This is roughly equivalent the equatorial circumference of the globe when traveling as close as possible to the equator at 0 degrees north latitude.
