Its 43km..

2020-02-05 21:08:16 UTC  

Even Rusty knows that.

2020-02-05 21:08:20 UTC  

So 1/300 the diameter

2020-02-05 21:08:26 UTC  

yes

2020-02-05 21:08:39 UTC  

It not being a perfect sphere makes it an oblate spheroid

2020-02-05 21:08:44 UTC  

its can still be called an oblate spheroid

2020-02-05 21:09:07 UTC  

is this really so hard to understand?

2020-02-05 21:09:09 UTC  

@$amad NEWS FLASH BUDDY, YOU WON'T FIND A PERFECT SPHERE ON EARTH, ANYWHERE.

2020-02-05 21:09:14 UTC  

A sphere will have the same radius from its centre point to its circumfirence no matter what direction

2020-02-05 21:09:18 UTC  

You will

2020-02-05 21:09:22 UTC  

No you won't

2020-02-05 21:09:24 UTC  

Scientists made one

2020-02-05 21:09:39 UTC  

Even the finest machined sphere, is STILL oblate.

2020-02-05 21:09:40 UTC  

And you can look at a digital sphere

2020-02-05 21:09:46 UTC  

"digital" is not real.

2020-02-05 21:09:47 UTC  

No

2020-02-05 21:09:57 UTC  

Scientists made a perfect sphere

2020-02-05 21:10:02 UTC  

Search it

2020-02-05 21:10:07 UTC  

the OBLATE part comes from the spin

2020-02-05 21:10:16 UTC  

rotation

2020-02-05 21:10:25 UTC  

What spin?

2020-02-05 21:10:25 UTC  

Yes

2020-02-05 21:10:27 UTC  

even the most perfect looking sphere will have an extremely small imperfection

2020-02-05 21:10:33 UTC  

It does

2020-02-05 21:10:38 UTC  

There is no globe

2020-02-05 21:10:41 UTC  

@Millennium Envoy My point exactly.

2020-02-05 21:10:44 UTC  

hi citizen

2020-02-05 21:10:47 UTC  

But a oblate spheroid is bulged at its equator

2020-02-05 21:10:48 UTC  

So, it's still "oblate"

2020-02-05 21:10:54 UTC  

No globe...

2020-02-05 21:10:59 UTC  

If it's not perfect, there's a bulge somewhere

2020-02-05 21:11:05 UTC  

Get it through your thick skulls the earth isnt a globe in a vacuum

2020-02-05 21:11:06 UTC  

why do people keep ,,debating,, here

2020-02-05 21:11:09 UTC  

in fact, it would be impossible for a perfect sphere to remain perfect just with atmospheric condition exposure

2020-02-05 21:11:18 UTC  

and an equitorial line can be created across any part of the sphere through it's center.

2020-02-05 21:11:26 UTC  

microscopic scale changes will occur constantly

2020-02-05 21:11:27 UTC  

An oblate spheroid has to have a specific shape it cant just be a deformed/imperfect sphere

2020-02-05 21:11:37 UTC  

Oh yea?

2020-02-05 21:11:44 UTC  

Tell me more about how deformed/imperfect it is?

2020-02-05 21:11:56 UTC  

an oblate spheroid implies that its not a perfect sphere

2020-02-05 21:11:56 UTC  

the "perfect" sphere you claim
