Is the Earth Flat?

• rs23296008n1 7y ago
  Short answer: no. Slightly longer answer: kind of but no. Longer answer: can be apparently flat for a limited region around you but generally no. Accurate subtle Answer: round because that is easier than flat. Descriptive longer answer someone else said: the earth is a spheroid. Average roughness of earth if size of billiard ball would be as smooth as a typical billiard ball.

    Flat locally, round globally.

      I like "round globally". Nice.
