I noticed that the 38 value was the circumference of the earth. Does that mean that for a summoning spell that covers any location on the planet for a given monster?

A summoning spell with a range of 38 could reach anywhere on your average planet. Technically, you can probably get away with a 37 range, which will get you over halfway around the planet; once you get beyond that range, the target will be closer to you from the opposite direction. In fact, you can even get away with a range of 36, which is the diameter of an Earth-sized planet, and actually summon the creature through the planet. However, then your speed must equal the range; otherwise, the result is not teleportation, and the target would travel through the intervening space. This opens up a whole other can of worms, and would probably cause the spell to fail.
