Do you believe Earth is a globe, or are you skeptical about its shape?

[strateguy632]

Poll, Which do you believed? or are you a skeptic about shape of our planet?

Is the model globe at school enough- made you believed the earth our planet is like a ball?

Is the DRAWING (not photo) of the boat on the horizon enough? Or are you skeptic?

Is it like a plate: round but not a ball or a different shape?

the model globe at school proved sphere

the DRAWING (not photo) of the boat on the horizon proved sphere

I believed anything in any book called a science book

It is a sphere for a different proof- what?

It is only round and flat

It is a different shape which?

We got one vote not round, probably for cube! Like bizzaro earth "htrae"

It’s actually called an oblate spheroid. It bulges at the equator due to rotation

[strateguy632]

I've read that, but i am skeptical that a solid can do that. Unless it happened during cooling of the surface from liquid lava. But if we assumed it was lava the spin would make it much less spheroid. Either way is against what we know about solids and liquids.

I now ask what about those Atlantic Trenches are they wider near equator than away from equator?

[Pterodon]

It is largely a liquid with all the oceans plus the continental plates are floating on lava

Tnx.

I have seen pictures of ot from space and it looks round to me.

[strateguy632]

For example picture of earth on moon

I just hate dealing with flat earthers that think they know some secret knowledge just because they're retarded... kinda like liberals.

[Redstang88]

Among a multitude of other reasons, I’m in the marine industry and our entire knowledge of navigation and related technology only works on a globe earth fundamental

It must be roughly a sphere, otherwise places like Greenland and Antarctica would be much larger than they are.

[strateguy632]

That is circular. Size is size no matter what shape.

Oops i meant circular reasoning no pun intended 🤣

[AngryCarl3]

I hadn't considered a cube. We know it's not a cube because it looks round from outer space.
