An ovale that bulges
No, the moon is not a perfect sphere. It is an oblate spheroid, meaning it is slightly flattened at the poles and bulging at the equator due to its rotation.
No. A circle is 2-dimensional. The Earth is a sphere. no actualy, it is a sphere, but a long time ago, historians thought that the world was a flat circle
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.
The moon is not a perfect sphere but rather an oblate spheroid, meaning it is slightly flattened at the poles and bulging at the equator due to its rotation. So, while it is not a perfect ball, it is approximately spherical in shape.
Simple answer - They are sphere'sRelatively simple answer - They are oblate spheroidsComplex answer. The Earth and Moon are oblate spheroids (The Earth to a greater effect), whereas the Sun is a gaseous body so it experiences an extended oblate spheroid property.
An Oblate Sheriod is indeed a 3D figure. Coming From the root SPHERE.
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.
Oblate means squashed.
The shape of the Earth is an oblate spheroid, meaning it is mostly spherical but slightly flattened at the poles and bulging at the equator due to its rotation.
The exact shape of earth is "Oblate spheroid".
They are of approximately equal size depending on the measurement. Hemisphere, meaning "half sphere" refers in this case to dividing the Earth exactly in half. The Earth itself though isn't a sphere; it's an oblate spheriod. So minor differences may exist.
a prolate spheriod
oblate spheroid oblate spheroid
the spinning of earth causes it to be an oblated spheriod.
Oblate School of Theology was created in 1903.
Oblate Sisters of Providence was created in 1829.
It is an oblate spheroid. In other words a sphere that is wider around the equator.
