@Geordi he specifically said AN OBLATE SPHERE

Oblate means flattened at the poles bulging at the equator

Please produce a picture of the earth from space in which the earth DOES NOT look like a perfect sphere?? Because that's all I ever see posted
Devils advocate, but “looking” like something and actually being something are two different things. You can appear to be perfectly spheroid without that being true. When measured, the equator does bulge compared to the poles, due to spin. That’s quantifiable…closest shape to describe that is as you said an oblate spheroid

Of course the fake Yellowjacket in here displaying his woefully poor comprehension skills in actual intellectual discourse :mjlol:

He said it’s slightly pear shaped, not that it’s shaped like a pear (not in a serious tone anyway). :mjlol:


At the end he even gives context to to how much the earth deviates from a perfect sphere by saying the deviation is more than the height of Mount Everest. Mount Everest is tall as fukk, at 29k feet, or about 5.5 miles. But the diameter of the earth is just under 8,000 miles.

5.5 miles :hula: 8,000 miles

That’s less than 0.07% of the diameter. The pear like deviation is the equivalent of bouncing ball when it hits the floor. To the naked eye it’s going to look like a sphere from a vantage point where you can see the whole earth. However, that small difference does have an effect on phenomena observed by those significantly smaller than 5.5 miles living life on earth

This shape is not perceptible enough to be seen with our eyes. You need to measure the earth to detect it because from space the bulge is extremely tiny

I said that's what you needed to be more qualified than me

You clearly don't have one and clearly that struck a nerve with you
But you don't even have a bachelor's degree so why does anybody need a PhD to be more qualified?

Anyway, did you ever tell your professors that you were a flat earther?

Yet you still weren't smart enough to get into GT. Tragic

This is how slow you are smh

I don't have to show you the work for the shape of the earth because it's set in stone

All you have to do is Google it
