- The Earth is not a perfect sphere, but rather an oblate spheroid, which means that it is flattened at the poles and bulging at the equator123. This shape is caused by the centrifugal force during rotation, which makes the mass of the Earth push outwards along the axis of rotation3. The Earth’s shape is also unique and ever-changing due to factors such as tides, winds, and plate tectonics2.Learn more:✕This summary was generated using AI based on multiple online sources.

The oblate spheroid, or oblate ellipsoid, is an ellipsoid of revolution obtained by rotating an ellipse about its shorter axis. It is the regular geometric shape that most nearly approximates the shape of the Earth. A spheroid describing the figure of the Earth or other celestial body is called a reference ellipsoid.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Figure_of_the_EarthWhile the Earth appears to be round when viewed from the vantage point of space, it is actually closer to an ellipsoid. However, even an ellipsoid does not adequately describe the Earth’s unique and ever-changing shape. Our planet is pudgier at the equator than at the poles by about 70,000 feet.
oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/earth-round.htmlEarth is not a perfect sphere. Its shape is an oblate spheroid. This just means that it flattens at the poles and widens out at the equator. Earth bulges at the equator because of the centrifugal force during rotation. Like spinning a pizza, the mass pushes outwards and flattens out along the axis of rotation.
