People cant even tell what pictures of Earth are admittedly fake or real anymore!
Really! Spjunk never actually explained how he calculated Earths equatorial diameter to be 7,926 miles!!
Or is it possible!? How does one account for the pear shape of Earth in the calculation??
The number was from search I presented you in the form of image.
If you want me to, I will calculate myself.
I can use ground speed of subsolar point at equinox to calculate equator circumference,
and then you can calculate diameter yourself.

Actually, let's do it now:
Makoua, Congo, 15.623 degrees east.
Entebbe, Uganda, 32.455 degrees east.
Distance between them 1164.24 miles.
Angular distance 16.832 degrees.
With 15 degrees per hour, ground speed of subsolar point is
1164.24 / 16.832 * 15 = 1037.52 mph
In 24 hours it is 24900.48 miles of equator circumference,
which gives diameter of D = (24900.48 / 3.14159) = 7926.075 miles
