Shooting from the hip, approx the circumference of the earth.

  > Shooting from the hip, approx the circumference of the earth. You're quite a bit off. It's actually a little under 4 million km; several times the diameter of the sun.

    There's a reason why shooting from the hip isn't very accurate. :)

      It's not that it's an "not very accurate" loose relation; there is no relation at all. The two numbers concern different forces - gravity inward due to mass vs. centrifugal force outwards due to spin.

  If that were true, we'd all fling off of the surface of the planet!
