To solve the problem, we need to find the circumference, surface area, and volume of the Earth given its radius. The radius of the Earth is approximately \(6.37 \times 10^6\) meters. We will perform the calculations step by step. ### Step 1: Convert the radius from meters to kilometers Since we need the final answers in kilometers, we first convert the radius from meters to kilometers. \[ \text{Radius in kilometers} = 6.37 \times 10^6 \text{ m} \times \frac{1 \text{ km}}{1000 \text{ m}} = 6.37 \times 10^3 \text{ km} \] ...
