Structural Engineer Costs. Homeowners spend an average of $512 on hiring a structural engineer, with most homeowners spending between $319 and $708. The larger and more detailed the project is, the higher the cost of hiring a structural engineer becomes. Some professionals charge by the job, while others may charge by the hour.
The total surface area of Earth is about 197 million square miles (509 million square km). About 71 percent is covered by water and 29 percent by land.
How large is Earth? Earth's circumference (the distance all the way around the equator) is 24,901 miles (40,075 kilometers). Its diameter (the distance from one side to the other through Earth's center) is 7,926 miles (about 12,756 kilometers). Earth is slightly smaller when measured between the North and South Poles which gives a diameter of 7,907 miles (12,725 kilometers). Earth bulges out a bit more around the equator than around the poles because of its rotation (spin). Cool Cosmos is an IPAC website.
