Perimeter
Definition: The perimeter of a shape of figure is the total length of the edges of that shape or figure : in other words, the total distance around the shape.
Circumference is defined as the perimeter of a circle.
Perimeter is associated with a shape (2-D). And it is fixed for a given shape.
So when you ask question about the perimeter of "sphere or spheroid" (3-D object)- I am not sure about your reference.
