minus-squareMonkderVierte@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up51arrow-down1·7 個月前Ah btw, this is the gravitational form (geoid) of earth: The meters is the height difference of orbit.
minus-squareViking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up20·7 個月前Damn, 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-squareGladaed@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·7 個月前This is not to scale. If it was you would see a perfect fucking sphere cause it’s that damn small of an image.
