The existence of the horizon at sea, as a circle of radius proportional to altitude of view-point. (Sorry - I don't know the formula.)

Mapping.

Arial evidence from aircraft and now of course, spacecraft.

Why is a globe the best representation of the earth?

Globe is the best representation of the earth because it shows the shape of the earth, which is spherical and it makes it easy to show how the earth revolves and rotates.


What is a spherical map on earth called?

A spherical map of the Earth is called a globe. It accurately represents the Earth's surface in a three-dimensional form, with each point on the surface accurately placed relative to the other points.


Which type of map best shows the three dimensions of earth surface?

A globe is the best type of map that shows the three dimensions of Earth's surface - length, width, and height. It accurately represents the spherical shape of the Earth and allows for a more realistic depiction of its true geography.

Which layer of the earth do think shows the most evidence of an earthquake?

The lithosphere.


Find some evidence that you think shows that Pluto should or should not be classed as a planet?

One piece of evidence supporting Pluto being considered a planet is its spherical shape and orbit around the Sun. However, its classification as a planet has been debated due to its small size, sharing its orbit with other objects, and not being able to clear its orbit of debris like other planets.


What maps shows the three dimensions of earth's surface?

A globe is the most common map that demonstrates the three dimensions of Earth's surface: length, width, and height. It provides a more accurate representation of Earth's shape compared to flat maps because it is a spherical representation.


Why is a globe a good example of a model?

use your brain!! if its a small one then yes it would be useful but if it was a big one it would be hard to carry around.


Show me video evidence that the earth is a globe?

While I can't show you video evidence directly, many videos demonstrate the Earth's curvature and its spherical nature. For example, footage from the International Space Station (ISS) shows the Earth as a round object from space. Additionally, videos of ships disappearing hull-first over the horizon and time-lapse footage of the stars rotating around the North Star also illustrate the Earth's curvature. You can find these examples on platforms like YouTube or educational websites.


What evidence is there that shows that the world is flat?

I'm tempted to leave this blank, as it's the actual answer to the question (that is, there is no such evidence), but I'm afraid it would be misinterpreted. The Earth is not flat.


Why are raindrops shape like pears not balls?

In fact, they are shaped like balls. The pear shape that we are accustomed to is stylized, just like a meat heart is not shaped like a Valentine's heart. High speed photography shows them to be nearly spherical. For example - see link More in-depth research shows that large water droplets actually become oblate and then break apart into smaller more spherical drops. E. Reyssat et al. Shape and instability of free-falling liquid globules, EPL 80 (2007) 34005.


What is the difference between an atlas and a globe?

An atlas is a collection of maps and geographical information in a book format, while a globe is a three-dimensional, spherical representation of the Earth. Globes provide a more accurate representation of the Earth's shape and geography, while atlases offer a wider range of detailed maps for individual regions or themes.
