The shape of the Universe on a large scale is not yet known. As far as we can see, it seems flat; for comparison, when you look a few meters around you, the Earth also seems to be flat. On a much larger scale, the Universe may have a positive curvature, a negative curvature, or no curvature at all.

What else can I help you with?
What are the flat bits at the top and the bottom of the earth called?
The earth is round, due to gravity, so there are no flat bits at the top and bottom.
Why is the earth round?
well, from space, it is round. but this is the earth you are talking about! up close, you are a molecule! so even though small and round from far away, up close it is so big wherever you are, it is flat. :)
Who is theory was that the earth is round not flat?
Since the determination of the fact that Earth is spherical as opposed to flat, all scientists (after a short lag period) have accepted that it is so.
Can your globe ever be flat?
No, a globe is defined as a three-dimensional representation of Earth, which is a spherical shape. The whole purpose of a globe is to accurately represent the round shape of the Earth, so it cannot be flat.
If the earth is round why does it seem?
Even though the earth is round, or more specifically, spherical, it seems flat to the human eye. This is because the earth is so huge that when we look at it we can't take in all of the horizon because we are so close. If we were viewing the earth from the moon, we would clearly be able to see it is spherical.
Why is boat at sea evidence for a round earth?
A boat at sea, alone, does not prove that is earth is round. However, boats can be used to prove that earth is round. This is because if the earth was flat, eventually a boat would sail to the end of earth and fall off the edge. This has never happened, so it can be inferred that the earth is round. Also, a boat can sail all the way around the world and end up right where it started, which proves that the earth is round.
Is Earth a spherical planet?
Yes earth is a spherical (round), thousands of years ago people did not know that planet earth was round, they just thought it was flat so if they went to far they would fall of the edge! but nowadays because of spacetravel etc, we have seen planet earth and they have noticed it was a spherical planet. So yes it is.
Properties of earth people used to think that earth was flat and at the of the universe?
Centuries ago, people believed that the Earth was flat and the center of the universe due to limited understanding and observation. However, scientific advancements, such as Galileo's observations and Copernicus' heliocentric model, eventually demonstrated that the Earth is spherical and orbits the sun. This paradigm shift in understanding the natural world led to the acceptance of the Earth's true place in the cosmos.
Why does a jet stream curve and bend?
Think about it this way. If it was flat then jet streams would be straight. But the Earth is round so jet streams are curved because of the curvature of the Earth.
what theory says the earth is a flat shape?
In the bible, it says the Earth is Flat, so it is Flat. If God created the Earth and Jesus wrote the bible, the Earth is Flat
If the universe is flat?
If the earth was flat then it would be impossible for our earth to have seasons, because on half of the year we would have complete sunlight, the other half of the year we would have complete darkness. Also the North Pole would probably be the place with most volcanic activity, which it isn't. So that shows you somethings about what happens if the earth is flat. (and no, the earth is not flat or else all of the above would happen.)It isn't because scientists have showed us pictures of the actual earth and its roundand you can fall off the side of the earth
Can maps be wrong?
Yes, the earth is round, and you cant make a sphere flat. It leaves gaps, so map makers have to improvise and fill in the gaps.
