The Earth is an oblate spheroid - mostly spherical, but flat at the top and round at the Equator. It's also smoother than a billiard ball would be if they were both the same size.
I learned both of those by the eighth grade. It's fairly basic. |

I know this to be true because I heard it from BEP who is not a professional educator, therefore she knows more than actual teachers. |

I could care less about what Dr Carson says about storage for grain and have not even bothered to look into it and dont care. I only posted in here after Lane and Fish boldly stated we know because the Egyptians told us.
A search has not even remotely said this its theory. There is not drawing found yet of hot to build these things nor explanations as to why. |

You keep linking to things that hurt your own point. That page also explains that geoid relates to gravity and not shape.
