minus-squareMonkderVierte@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up51arrow-down1·edit-23 days agoAh btw, this is the gravitational form (geoid) of earth: The meters is the height difference of orbit.
minus-squareGladaed@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 day agoThis is not to scale. If it was you would see a perfect fucking sphere cause it’s that damn small of an image.
minus-squareViking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up20·3 days agoDamn, 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 🤷
minus-squareacockworkorange@mander.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up13·3 days agoIf the Earth was scaled down to the size of a billiard ball, it would be the smoothest billiard ball in existence.
minus-squareSwingingTheLamp@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 day agoI’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.

minus-squareHawke@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up19·3 days agoThat is pretty severely exaggerated though to emphasize the form.
minus-squareMonkderVierte@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up15·3 days agoLol, but the diff is actually x10000 or something, to make it more visible
