Earth is not a perfect sphere; it is slightly wider across the equator than it is from pole to pole, but that difference is less than a percent of Earth's average diameter, too small for the human eye to notice.

What is meant by a celestial globe?
The Celestial Globe (or sphere) is an imaginary sphere around our planet, earth. All objects in the sky and space, such as satellites, can be thought inside this invisible sphere.
Are you in the earth or on the earth?
We are on the Earth's surface. To be in the Earth we would have to be underground. Although it doesn't look as if we are in space, the very thin blue sphere around Earth is our atmosphere. To enter space we would go through that atmosphere. :D
How did gravity affect the earth shape during earth's formation?
earth's shape is influenced by gravity because gravity will pull the objects in space together forming a sphere
What layer of the atmosphere is the thermo-sphere?
Its the very upper layer of the Earth's atmosphere right below the exosphere which is essentially space.
Where might you find the celestial sphere celestial equator and celestial poles?
These are imaginary locations in the sky. The "celestial sphere" is a blanket term for everything beyond the Earth. The celestial equator is the plane of the Earth's equator extended out into space. The "celestial poles" are extensions of the north pole and south pole into space. It's sometimes convenient to describe objects out in space with reference to terrestrial coordinates.
Measurements taken from space show the earth to be?
a perfect sphere
Images from space probes and artificial satellites show that earth is a?
Sphere shaped
Facts about the earth and space?
it is a sphere that is flat from top and bottom space is filled of vacum so in space things fly and there is no oxygen
How did people learn that the earth was a sphere in the late 20th Century?
It's hard to argue it's not a sphere when you've got pictures taken from space showing that it IS a sphere.
How does the shape of the earth appear as one goes on space explorations?
The shape of the earth is perceived as being a sphere as one travels away from it in space. As the distance increases, the sphere diminishes in perception towards becoming a single point. At still greater distances, the earth is invisible.

Was space initially cuboid or sphere?
Space was innitialy sphere.
How do you know that earth is a sphere?
The earth isn't perfectly spherical... It is slightly elliptic due to the gravitational pulls and it's rotational axes, but otherwise it is known that the shape of the earth is a sphere by photographs and measurements of the planet from outer space.
What would the radius of my space ship be if it had 1000 cubic feet for every person in the United States and my space ship was a sphere?
earth
What is the name given to a series of satellites that take photos of the earth?
They are called Space Probes.
Why does earth look like a circle from space?
The earth is approximately a sphere (round like a ball). From any direction, its outline will be a circle.
