JordanThe shape of the Earth is actually a rather complex figure called a geoid, which just means "Earth-shaped". It's roughly an ellipsoid (which is itself pretty close to a sphere), but one where the Southern Hemisphere bulges just a tiny more than the northern one, making it very slightly pear-shaped (with additional bulges in various places).

What shape is the earths revolution?
If by revolution you mean the spin on it's own axis this is more or less a perfect circle. If you are referring to it's orbit around the sun, this is elliptical, not a perfect circle.
How do the earth rotates?
The Earth rotates in not a perfect circle around the sun but in a oval shape.
What shape is a smarties box?
a circle
Planets that circle stars other than earths sun are called?
exoplanets
What is the shape of the planet Earth?
Earth's shape is oblate spheroid.
What shape is the earths revolution?
If by revolution you mean the spin on it's own axis this is more or less a perfect circle. If you are referring to it's orbit around the sun, this is elliptical, not a perfect circle.
Explain the difference in the earths climate change when the earths orbit changes from elliptical to circular?
Earth's eccentricity Eccentricity is defined as the difference in shape between an ellipse and a perfect circle. In a similar fashion to Earth's obliquity, the more uniform Earth's orbit is (more like a perfect circle), the less difference there is in climate change throughout the year.
When the moon is full what shape is it in the sky?
It is a nearly perfect circle.
What is the eccintricity of a circle?
A circle has no eccentricity because it is a perfectly symmetrical shape. The eccentricity of a shape is a measure of how much its shape deviates from being a perfect circle, so for a circle, the eccentricity is always zero.
What do you know about the shape of Earths orbital path around the Sun?
Earth's orbital path around the Sun is an ellipse, not a perfect circle. This means that Earth's distance from the Sun varies slightly throughout the year. The shape of the orbit is very close to a circle, with the eccentricity being only 0.0167.
What is elliptical orbits of planets?
About the same shape as an egg, or oblong. Not a perfect circle.
How do Earth rotates?
The Earth rotates in not a perfect circle around the sun but in a oval shape.
What is the shape of the orbit of the earth and other planets?
Oval or elliptical shaped. (Not a perfect circle)
How do the earth rotates?
The Earth rotates in not a perfect circle around the sun but in a oval shape.
How can you achieve a perfect circle by cutting a circle?
To achieve a perfect circle by cutting a circle, you would need to use a tool like a compass or a circle cutter to carefully trace and cut along the desired circumference. This precise method ensures that the new circle maintains the same shape and size as the original circle.
What shape is the world?
The world is a "oblate spheroid" because it is not a perfect circle. The Earth bulges out around the equator.
How can one draw a perfect circle shape?
You can take a round cup or glass and set it in the middle of the paper and then taking a pencil you can trace the outer edge of the cup. You should have a perfect round circle upon completion.
