When a circle has a diameter (all the way across the circle) of 1. Then the circumference (all the way around the circle) is Pi (3.14159265...)

Circle illustration with circumference (C) in black, diameter (D) in cyan, radius (R) in red, and centre or origin (O) in magenta.
Circumference = π × diameter = 2 × π × radius.
