It's just 2 * pi, or 6.28 inches because it's the difference of the diameter by 2 inches.

Are we assuming that 25,000 miles of string is not going to stretch?
I think the better question is how much longer is the mean orbital distance of the moon in the summer vs the winter?

46,000 miles ( Globe circumfrence 22000 X .00021 x 3.14etc plus a few feet lost to carless cutting) 3,212,640,000 inches exactly. Though it shrinks when it gets wet so watch out for the oceans
