The Earth is shaped like a sphere primarily due to gravity, which pulls matter toward the center of the planet, creating a balance that forms a nearly spherical shape. This process is known as hydrostatic equilibrium. Additionally, the rotation of the Earth causes a slight bulging at the equator, resulting in an oblate spheroid shape rather than a perfect sphere. The combination of these forces shapes the Earth into its familiar rounded form.

The shape of the earth is best described by?
It is an Oblate Spheroid not a sphere. The Earth bulges at the equator (major axis) and is flattened at the poles (minor axis). The Earth is not egg shaped, nor is is spherical. The rotation of the Earth causes an average bulging at the equator, with not all areas bulging as much.

The curved shadow on the moon during a lunar eclipse is evidence of earth's what?
The curved shadow on the moon during a lunar eclipse is evidence of Earth's round shape. The Earth's shadow that falls on the moon is always curved because of the spherical shape of the Earth, which causes the shadow to appear rounded.
