why is the world round?

Answer 1

Because gravity attracts matter to other matter, and the sphere is the most concentrated shape for matter to get close to each other.

Also you can say that the order of things is just that way, and leave it at that.

Answer 2

Round?

Answer 3

At first glance the world is round. This is due to gravity. Gravity pulls with equal strength in all directions; therefore any variations from a spherical shape will lead to gravitational forces that bring the shape back into that much like a sphere.

This is without considering the rotation of the world, however. The rotation of the world adds centrifugal effects, which cause the surfice to bulge slightly at its equator and flatten slightly at its poles.(This is like twirling a rock on the end of a string and then letting go--the rock flies away from the twirler.) Because of these centrifugal effects, the distance from the center of the world to the surface of the world is somewhat shorter at the poles compared to the equator.

Answer 4

The world is round because that help to stay in orbit.

Answer 5

science cannot answer why, only how
why is the province of religion

the world became round, because it coalesced as fluid materials, that, under the force of gravity of the gathering mass, will automatically form a sphere, because that is the lowest surface-to-volume shape

a similar phenomenum causes a soap bubble to become a sphere

Answer 6

As every atom was attracted to each other in earth's creation, the lumps of dust and rock would slowly become more and more compressed. Slowly as the effect gravity had on the surrounding atoms of the large 'clump' it would cause the middle to collapse as far as possible and soon the 'planet' would become molten and plyable. And just as water droplets in zero-gravity form spheres the earth would too. (The earth's core would pull evenly on the surrounding atoms, causing them to be spaced evenly, and as you should know, every spot on a sphere is the same distance to the center as any other point.

Answer 7

at a certain point, when so much matter clumps together, a gravitational force tends to pull that clump into a sperical shape. so don't expect stacks of books to turn round, but big, insurmountable objects like planets get pulled into a round shape

Answer 8

The earth is not round. It is flattened at the poles and bulges at the equator. It is a spheroid.

Answer 9

because how much ever you round you should come for the same place so.got it

Answer 10

imagine it like triangle? or rectangle? or perhaps pyramid? got the point? that's reallly how intelligent God is......its the best shape suited for us the dwell, and is not that round actually its eliptical......
