This question was answered by Gallelio 600 yrs ago..
stilll in the age of satellites, what made u ask this..
any way earth is not a perfect geometrically round.
ya the shape is like round, like orange fruit.

if u r wondering why then the person just opposite to u on the other side of earth fall down ???,
then the answer is that :
we know that we fall down not up always..
but down and up are relative terms.
which ever side earth is that is down.
other is up..
so when u go to the opposite side, u will feel not hanging upside down, but the same as u feel here...
hope that clarifies ur doubt ..
Thanks..

Yes. Proof is in the fact that the farther a ship goes into the horizon, the more it appears to go downward. Also, the curved atmosphere creates a lensing effect that amplifies objects just above the horizon (and colors them orange too). The moon is an example. Close to the horizon it appears bigger and orange, then turns white and smaller as it climbs.

No, due to the rotation the Earth bulges at the equator and is flattened at the poles.

You should be able to tell, better than us. Look up. It's that little round blue thing in your home planet's night sky.

no it is chunky and ovalish
it was a piece that broke of another planet ,during a cosmic colision,that got kind of round with the spinning when it was soft and hot
but it never got completely round

Eh its kinda wider at the equator and squashed at the poles due to the pull of the moon, sun, and angular momentum.
