Terminology
Circumference
The circumference is the perimeter, or distance around the circle. Imagine wrapping a string all the way around a circle. Now imagine removing the string and pulling it out into a straight line. If you were to measure this string, that length is the circumference of your circle.
Diameter
The diameter is the length, or distance, across the circle at its widest point, passing through the center.
Radius
In classical geometry, a radius of a circle or sphere is any of the line segments from its center to its perimeter. The name comes from the Latin radius, meaning ray but also the spoke of a chariot wheel.
