    The equatorial radius of the Earth is 6.3781 * 10^6 meters

    6.3781 * 10^6 * cos(21.458056 degrees) = r[21.458056]

    2 * pi * r[21.458056] = C[21.458056]

    2 * pi * 6.3781 * 10^6 * cos(21.458056) =>

    37.29702538131921006275934987106... * 10^6 meters =>

    37.297 * 10^6 meters =>

    3.7297 * 10^7 meters

    I don't quite understand what the 2nd part of your question means.
