-- A circle with 277 square feet of area inside it has a diameter of about 18.78 feet. (rounded) -- A square with 277 square feet of area inside it has sides that are each about 16.64 feet. (rounded) -- It takes 426.6 sheets of standard printer paper to cover 277 square feet.
A curved surface is like imagining a sheet of paper that is bent or a flag waving in the wind. A curved edge is like an elastic stick bent in one(C curve) or more points(S curve). The curved surface beeing 3 dimensional(3D) and the curved edge 2 dimensional(2D) unlike the simple surface and edge which are 2D respectively 1D.
A plane is a flat surface that extends infinitely. Think of it as a piece of paper that goes on in every direction (but not "up" out of the paper). A horizontal plan just means that it extends horizontally (like a piece of paper on a desk). Another example would be the floor you are standing on or the ceiling above it. However, your monitor is - more than likely - facing up and down. That is NOT a horizontal plane.
A flat surface, like a sheet of paper, with no edges (ie: it goes on and on and on and on....) or boundaries. What you're describing is a 2 dimensional plane. No, not plane like an airplane. A plane is simply a flat "sheet" that goes on forever in 2 dimensions: left/right (wide) and up/down (tall).

A map.
The two dimensional representation of the Earth's surface on piece of paper is called a map. Maps can show an area in great detail or in very broad outlines.

When tectonic plates divide they create divergent boundaries, which can cause the earths surface to divide and split up, almost like when you rip a piece of paper

Oslo paper is a kind of a paper which is thick and it has a rough surface
The paper has a hard surface, is printable with no bleeding.
It is a drawing of the earth on a flat surface
No, because the paper has a smaller surface area.
Paper matter is condensed into a smaller surface area.
