Is The Earth Round?
Is the earth in a spear shape? Like O a ball so people don't fall off or what?

The Earth's shape is very close to an oblate spheroid—a rounded shape with a bulge around the equator—although the precise shape (the geoid) varies from this by up to 100 meters. The average diameter of the reference spheroid is about 12,742 km. More approximately the distance is 40,000 km/π because the meter was originally defined as 1/10,000,000 of the distance from the equator to the north pole through Paris, France.
Simply, its like an apple with Both the poles having flat area.
Hope it helps!!!

No earth is not in the spherical shape , it is the oval shaped.
moreover due to the gravitational force and the spread area of the equator it is not felt so......and we wont fall down

Round is a 2 dimensional criteria where as in 3 Dimensions we refer to chaps as circular. The Earth is flat at the top and the bottom and that particular shape is called a Sphere

The earth is a 3 dimensional 'round' sphere, however at the equators it bulges out a bit so it's like an 'O' except it bulges out slightly in the middle to the left and right which is why its quicker to go around the world from pole to pole, rather than round the equator.
