If you circle the world with a rope near its equator, and then try and circle the world with a rope one inch off its surface at the equator....the difference between those ropes is only like six inches in length.
A similar question was posed by Neal Boortz a few years ago:
If you had a rope that was one mile in length greater than the circumference of the earth and you suspended it around the earth at the equator, would a person be able to walk upright beneath it?
By my math, there should be plenty of room since the rope would be suspended 840 feet above the ground.
