The diameter of a circle is a line segment which passes through its center and intersects its perimeter (or circumference) at two opposite points. The length of the circle's diameter is twice its radius (distance from center to any point on the circle).
Pi times the diameter is the length of the circumference of the circle.
The length of a straight line that travels from one side of a circle to another, while passing through the center of a circle.[1]
