Ah btw, this is the gravitational form (geoid) of earth:
The meters is the height difference of orbit.
Damn, now I get why cartographers and the like always try to make it prettier in post!
Never thought I'd be body shaming the Earth, but here we are 🤷
That is pretty severely exaggerated though to emphasize the form.
Lol, but the diff is actually x10000 or something, to make it more visible
That's just mean! 😉
If the Earth was scaled down to the size of a billiard ball, it would be the smoothest billiard ball in existence.
Except for Howie Mandel's head, of course.
I'll take your word for it, because it would be awfully hard to compare it to other billiard balls after we'd asphyxiated from the atmosphere dissipating into space.
Its the water that makes the world ~~go a~~round
This is not to scale. If it was you would see a perfect fucking sphere cause it's that damn small of an image.
