What is the size and shape of earth?
The Earth is an oblate spheroid, meaning it is mostly spherical but slightly flattened at the poles and bulging at the equator. It has a diameter of approximately 12,742 kilometers at the equator.
What is Earth's exact shape?
It has a slightly smaller diameter around the poles than at the equator therefore it is an oblate sphere or spheroid.
What is the earths diameter in km?
The diameter of the earth at the equator is 12,756 kilometers. The earth slightly bulges at the equator slightly elongating the distance.
What is earths diameter?
The diameter of the earth at the equator is 12,756.32 kilometers or 7,926.41 miles.The diameter of the earth through the poles is 12,715.43 kilometres or 7,901.00 miles.Thus the earth is 59 km or 25 miles wider than it is tall, giving it a slight bulge at the equator.This shape is known as an ellipsoid or more properly, geoid (earth-like), or oblate spheroid (squashed sphere).
How do you say that the earth is round?
umm: "The Earth is round"? ------------------------------------------------ The Earth is not round - it is an oblate spheroid. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- A (slightly) oblate spheroid seems pretty "round" to me.
What type of structure does the earth have?
The Earth is an oblate spheroid.
How many sides does the earth have?
The Earth is a spheroid; it has no sides.
What is an obiate spheroir?
You probably mean "oblate spheroid," which is the 3D analogue of an ellipse. The earth and other planets, due to the competition between rotational momentum and gravity, is an oblate spheroid. You can model an oblate spheroid by rotating an ellipse around its shorter axis, just as you can model a sphere by the rotation of a circle around any diameter.
What is the diameter of earth to the nearest kilometer?
The earth is an oblate spheroid: it is somewhat flattened at the poles and bulges at the equator. As a result, its equatorial diameter is 43 kilometres greater than the polar diameter. It is, therefore not possible to give an answer to your question to the degree of accuracy demanded when you have not specified which measure you want. The average diameter is 12742 km.
What s is the shape of the earth?
Oblate spheroid
If earth is not a perfect sphere then what is it?
Oblate spheroid
What is the exact shape of earth?
The Earth is approximately an oblate spheroid, meaning it is mostly spherical but slightly flattened at the poles and bulging at the equator.
