I assume you mean "why is it perfect for supporting life?" There are two answers. The scientific answer is that the Earth just happens to be the right size, have the right combination of elements, and be the perfect distance from its star (Sol, the Sun) to allow it to have the liquid water, breathable atmosphere and moderate temperatures necessary for life as we know it. Other planets in our solar system are either too near or too far from the Sun (and so are too hot or too cold to support life). Some also lack the right combination of elements or are too dense (too high gravity). There may very well be (and probably are many) other planets in other star systems that are also just the right size, have the right elements, and are the right distance from their stars to support life. The religious answer is that God specifically designed the Earth to support the life he created on it. One can accept either of these answers, or both of them, depending upon one's personal beliefs.

What would have to happen in order for Earth to become a perfect shape?
It IS a perfect shape. Define your terms better.
Why is the earth a habitable planet?
Earth is habitable because of our natural resources. Water, and land capable of growing food. Our atmosphere is perfect for life. The sun is the perfect distance away.
Measurements taken from space show the earth to be?
a perfect sphere
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.
How close to a perfect sphere is Earth's true shape?
It is pretty close.
What is the benefit because earth is not a perfect sphere?
so that we don't slip ......................... i know it is not true
Should Earth be perfect?
no because no one is perfect. there is always a way to improve the earth
Why the acceleration due to gravity depends on where on the earth you are?
Because the Earth is not a perfect sphere, so at different locations, you can be slightly nearer or slightly farther from the Earth's center.
Why does the moon come closer to the earth?
The moon comes closer to the earth because its orbit is not a perfect circle. So there are times when it is slightly closer to the earth than others.
Does the earth have an orbit with a low or high eccentricity?
The Earth has an eccentricity of 0.01671123. Where 0 is a perfect circle, and 1 is a parbola. So by that it has a low eccentricity.
What is in a direct line during a lunar eclipse?
During a lunar eclipse, the Sun-Earth-Moon form a perfect - or almost perfect - line, so that the light of the Sun shines on the Earth, and the Earth's shadow hits the Moon. When we see "partial" or "penumbral" eclipses, that's when the alignment isn't quite close enough, so that the Moon is only partly in the Earth's shadow.
Who is the perfect person on the world?
Nobody is perfect on earth
Why is Earth in a perfect spot?
Luck. I'm sure there are plenty of other "perfect" planets out there, it just so happens we live on this one. The mass of the planet and the speed it orbits the sun at keep it at a perfect distance away.
Is earth the perfect distance from the sun?
earth is the perfect distance from the sun so that life can evolve because, if earth were to close to the sun the earth would be to hot to contain any humans or animals and if the earth were to far from the sun it would be to cold to contain any humans at all,
What is the distance of the center of the earth?
The Earth is not a perfect sphere, so the distance to the center of the Earth varies from 6378 km (3963 miles) at the equator to 6357 km (3950 miles) at the poles.
Miles to the center of the earth?
The Earth is not a perfect sphere, so the distance to the center of the Earth varies from 6378 km (3963 miles) at the equator to 6357 km (3950 miles) at the poles.
How does the earth revoles around the earth?
In perfect and complete synchrony.
