Because the Earth is round, does that mean that nothing straight is actually straight? Lets say that somehow a perfectly straight 200,000,000,000,000 mile ruler was made in space. If it was brought down to Earth, would it be like a ruler on a ball? Would only the middle be touching and everything else in the air?

Something straight will continue to be straight unless you ned it. It doesn't matter where it is. And just because teh earth is round doesn't mean that thigns on the earth can't be straight. They just can't be straight and 2,000,000 miles long or they will extend into space.
