Why isn't the world a perfect sphere?
The earth is not a perfect sphere because it is flatened somewhat at the north pole and south pole.
What sphere do you live in?
The sphere that we all live on is called the Earth. (It is not a perfect sphere, but close enough)
If earth is not a perfect sphere then what is it?
Oblate spheroid
True or false earth is a perfect sphere?
Earth is not perfectly sphere, the Earth bulges at its equator for it is spinning very fast on its axis.
If the earth were a perfect sphere how deep would the water be that covered it?

Is it true that the earth is becoming a bit like an oval?
No, the Earth is pretty much a sphere. It's not a PERFECT sphere, but you wouldn't be able to see the difference by eye. Because of the Earth's spin, it bulges out just a TINY bit along the equator.
What shape is the world?
The world is a "oblate spheroid" because it is not a perfect circle. The Earth bulges out around the equator.
Why do photos from space show the earth as a perfect sphere?
Earth is not a perfect sphere; it is slightly wider across the equator than it is from pole to pole, but that difference is less than a percent of Earth's average diameter, too small for the human eye to notice.
Is it a fact that the earth is round?
Yes, for a suitable definition of "round". It is not a perfect sphere.
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.
Why is a globe different from real earth?
A globe is a perfect sphere; the earth is shaped more like a pear.
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.
