Believe it or not, when water finds its level, it does not form a straight line. Because the Earth is curved, and gravity pulls in objects from all directions, water will be affected by these, and since water canโ€™t be perfectly level unless all sides of it are being equally affected by gravity, bodies of water will always have a curve to them. Based on the area that the water takes up, that curve may be indistinguishable from a straight line (a glass of level water is considered straight, but the oceans are not).

Now, some of the skeptics may be saying โ€œgosh, well what about the oceans? They are curved, but they canโ€™t be level because they are always making waves, which means that there is an unequal pull on them as a whole! โ€ Well, youโ€™re not wrongโ€ฆ

If the sun and moon didnโ€™t exist. Because the moon is so close to the Earth, and the sun is so massive, they have slight gravitational affection to the Earthโ€™s tides, causing waves, and an unequal distance from the top of the high waves, and the top of the lower waves, from the center of Earthโ€™s gravitational pull. Take out these two forces (and any others from other planets), and the tides would be perfectly still, meaning they would be level.

So really, you canโ€™t actually ask this question and get any reasonable answer. Waterโ€™s level is dependent on the shape of Earthโ€™s gravitational field,
