Earth is described as and oblate spheroid. It is mostly spherical but is slightly wider across the equator than across the poles.
The shape of the earth is considered to be an oblate spheroid or ellipsoid and not actually a true sphere. The size of earthâ??s surface is 361.132 million square kilometers which is equivalent to 139.43 million square miles.
The true shape of the earth is oblate spheriod. This means that the Earth is slightly flattened at the poles and slightly bulging at the Equator.
true
is is true
The shape of the Earth is best described as an oblate spheroid, meaning it is mostly spherical but slightly flattened at the poles and bulging at the equator due to its rotation. This shape is more accurate than a perfect sphere for representing the Earth's true form.
No the sun will never scorch the earth. Scientist have studied this and believe it to not be true. Although some people have Their douts.
true
a physical map
probaly someone else that is not a very smart scientist but that's not true the truth is the Earth oribts the Sun while the Moon orbits the Earth
It's rotation. Earth would naturally have achieved hydrostatic balance (perfect sphere) as it cooled. Eons of spinning on it's axis has slightly flattened the poles, giving earth a very slight "oblate" shape as opposed to a perfect sphere.
No, the statement that the Lilliputians believed the Earth was round is not true. In Jonathan Swift's "Gulliver's Travels," the Lilliputians are fictional characters who are not portrayed as having a specific belief about the shape of the Earth.
The phrase "Spaceship Earth" is used to describe the Earth as being delicate and fragile (which it is not) and to imply that it would be easy for us to destroy the Earth's ecosystem (also not true).
