The earth is slightly pear shaped the north pole radius is 44mm longer than the south pole radius i hope that answered your question. I had an assignment today with the question what shape is the earth sounds like a stupid question that a teacher would ask a twelve year old because he is a social studies teacher. He said he wouldn't know if the earth was slightly pear shaped and my friends wouldn't believe me. I was proven correct by the internet when one of my friends looked it up. This was just a little story about how i proved something nobody thought was true!
