The Earth is not flat, it's round. The astronauts have proved that.In Outer-space, all planets are round, none are flat. Mars,Jupiter,Venus,Saturn, and all of the other planets including ours are round on the outside. They may seem flat but trust me, my friend, they are not.

Answer 5

The Earth is not flat- it is not a true sphere either. It bulges slightly at the equator. A more proper way of defining it would be: oblate spheroid.

Answer 6

You should join the Flat Earth Society.

Answer 7

It only looks flat because its curve is so slight compared to the scale of an average human observer. At ground level, the curve is "drowned out" by local terrain and other, more obvious slopes. However, if you climb to above about 30 miles above the surface, the curve becomes quite visible. Also, if you are standing on a near-flat surface (e.g. on a raft in the ocean) and a ship sails toward you, you will see the top of the ship before the bottom as it crests the horizon (in fact, this is the definition of the horizon: it is the point where the curve of the earth blocks your vision beyond).
