What would have to happen in order for Earth to become a perfect shape?
It IS a perfect shape. Define your terms better.
What will happen when there will be no oxygen in earth?
the earth would die
This is a sealed glass dome that has all the features of earth?
A Bio-sphere would fit this description.
What if winter does not happen?
the earth would explode

If the earth were a perfect sphere how deep would the water be that covered it?

What is the gravitational potential energy at the center of the earth?
Ideally, if the earth were a perfect sphere, the gravitational potential energy would be zero. In the center of a sphere all other points within the sphere have an equal and opposite counterpoint. They work to cancel each other out. However, the earth is not a perfect sphere so there would likely be a gravitational pull towards the area with the greatest mass.
What gives earth its true shape?
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.
Which of the following would not be a possible planar slice from the octahedron shown below?
The shape of the Earth is very close to a sphere. Its diameter at the equator is 7926 miles. If the Earth were a perfect sphere with diameter of 7926 miles, what would be its surface area?

How would you describe the sun's shape?
Because of the sun's relatively large mass (and the large gravity this causes), it is for all intents and purposes a perfect sphere. The earth, on the other hand, does not have sufficient mass to create a perfect sphere and is actually called an oblate spheroid.
The earth is a perfect sphere?
No, the Earth is a bit wider than it is "high". The shape is often called a geoid (Earth-like) or an ellipsoid. The rotation of the Earth causes a slight bulge toward the equator. The circumference of the Earth at the equator (24,901.55) is about 41 miles greater than the circumference through the poles (24,859.82 miles. If you were standing on the moon, looking at the Earth, it would be virtually impossible to see the bulge and the Earth would appear to be a perfect sphere. The mathematical name for the shape of the earth is an 'Oblate spheroid'.
Which sphere would be the densest on earth?
The Troposphere.
Why the earth not a perfect sphere?
because it two poles on the Earth causes it to bugle out in the middle.It spins on its axis and the centrifugal force makes the part at the equator bulge out slightly.symtrifical force my friend. as the earth spins, rock, water, everything on the side is pushed outwords as if you spun a rock on a rope around, it would push outwords.Earth is not a perfect sphere because the rotation of the planet has slightly distorted the shape.
Is it possible to create a perfect sphere?
If there is going to be a perfect sphere, it will be a neutron star. The immense gravity will form the most perfect sphere, that engineers could only marvel at. The surface will be so smooth and without imperfections that a billiard ball would seem like it was engineered by cavemen.
What is the force of gravity at the center of earth compared to its surface gravity would be equal to?
If the Earth would be a perfect sphere, you would experience no gravity in the center because all the mass around you would pull at you with the same strength in all directions, netting you a zero total force.
