We calculate for the circumferences of Earth and moon by using the equation,
                                C = 2πr
For Earth,
                                C = 2π(6371 km) = 40030.2 km
For Moon,
                               C = 2π(1737.5 km) = 10917.0 km
The difference between the two circumferences is 29113.2 km approximately.

The approximate difference in the mean conferences is 29092.1 km

The radii are given as:

Radius of the earth, R = 6371.0 km

Radius of the earth's moon , r = 1737.5 km

Calculate the difference in the radii

d = R - r

So, we have:

d = 6370 - 1737.5

d = 4632.5

The circumference is then calculated as:

[tex]C = 2\pi (d)[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]C = 2 * 3.14 * 4632.5[/tex]

[tex]C = 29092.1[/tex]

Hence, the approximate difference in the mean conferences is 29092.1 km
