Bill wants to tie a rope around the earth. So he buys a rope of 40,000 KM and ties it around the world. His neighbor, Charley, wants to do the same only he wants the rope supported on sticks 1 meter above the ground uniformly.
1) How much more rope does Charley need?
2) And how much rope would he need if he used the moon instead of the earth?
