in the case of rapid spinning, the centripetal force overcomes the gravitational attraction trying to create a spherical shape. Earth is an example of this, hence the oblate spheroid shape.
but why is the earth flat?
Since the Earth is flattened at the poles and bulges at the Equator, geodesy represents the figure of the Earth as an oblate spheroid. The oblate spheroid, or oblate ellipsoid, is an ellipsoid of revolution obtained by rotating an ellipse about its shorter axis.
then how come we dont go flying off the earth if its spinning that fast
..?
Gravity
but gravity is what would in theory keep the earth round
That’s what I’m saying. The earth is round.
oh
I just put a bunch of proof
Oh i thought you were saying the eart was like a semi flat but with like a cylnder like curved edge to it
essentially a squished sphere
No I wasn’t saying that
ok then im dumb nvm
It’s ok
Also I have a question for flat earthers. If the earth **is** flat, how come the mountain tops aren’t in space?
thats what i was thinkin lol
Yep
I just want to know what flat earthers think
also if the earth is lat
flat wouldnt the speed that the earth is "moving" upwards push all air and oxeygen extra off the edge of the planet? and wouldnt we also get extreme winds blowing down upon us
I was on a flat earth server called Flat Earth 24/7. I asked these same questions and was banned. I just wanna know how they answer it.
@Roaringthunder115 what do you mean mountain tops not being in space?
If the earth is flat, wouldn’t the mountaintops be in space?
no...
why
there is firmament...
The earth is round
I have tons of proof
also once agian why isnt massive amounts of wind getting thrown down upon us
there would be almost a extra g of gravity
@Roaringthunder115 Like what?
Scroll up
Also, who said gravity was real?
who said it wasnt
Gravity is a theory
unproven theory
then why do we stay on earth
buoyancy...
How can a lunar eclipse happen if the Earth is flat?
What the f***? buoyancy how?
