  3. Roundness (geology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roundness_(Geology)

    Schematic representation of difference in grain shape. Two parameters are shown: sphericity (vertical) and rounding (horizontal). Rounding, roundness or angularity are terms used to describe the shape of the corners on a particle (or clast) of sediment. [1] Such a particle may be a grain of sand, a pebble, cobble or boulder.

  4. Empirical evidence for the spherical shape of Earth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empirical_evidence_for_the...

    The spherical shape of Earth causes the Sun to rise and set at different times in different places, and different locations get different amounts of sunlight each day. In order to explain day and night, time zones, and the seasons, some flat Earth conjecturists propose that the Sun does not emit light in all directions, but acts more like a ...

  5. Figure of the Earth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Figure_of_the_Earth

    The simplest model for the shape of the entire Earth is a sphere. The Earth's radius is the distance from Earth's center to its surface, about 6,371 km (3,959 mi). While "radius" normally is a characteristic of perfect spheres, the Earth deviates from spherical by only a third of a percent, sufficiently close to treat it as a sphere in many ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_science

    It incorporates astronomy, mathematical geography, meteorology, climatology, geology, geomorphology, biology, biogeography, pedology, and soils geography. Physical geography is distinct from human geography, which studies the human populations on Earth, though it does include human effects on the environment. [29]

  9. Globe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Globe

    A globe is the only representation of the Earth that does not distort either the shape or the size of large features – land masses, bodies of water, etc. The Earth's circumference is quite close to 40 million metres. [1] [2] Many globes are made with a circumference of one metre, so they are models of the Earth at a scale of 1:40 million.
