Did you know that if you were 6 feet tall and could walk completely around the Earth at the equator that after one trip around the earth your head?

Yes, that fact is basically correct and comes from circle geometry.
If your feet trace a circle equal to Earth’s equator, your head traces a slightly bigger circle (Earth’s radius + 6 feet).

The extra distance is:
2π × (height) ≈ 2 × 3.14 × 6 ≈ 37.7 feet

So after one walk around the equator, your head travels about 37–38 feet farther than your feet.

Yeah, I just picked it up on a Facebook reel so I thought I'd share it.👍
