Actually, it's not perfectly round. But it is a sphere.

Its not a perfect round shape - but round enough to be called round

If you mean the world, the universe, it is a hypersurface, maybe a sphere, God knows, I don't. Our planet is a hypersurface too, in 3D it seems like a round shape, but actually it can be any shape with round cut, it is flat as a sheet of paper maybe.

Itz a Spherical Shape...
When a ship is at the horizon its lower part is invisible due to Earth's curvature. This was one of the first arguments favoring a round-earth model.

Yes, simple logic ought to prove that to you. If the world were flat,when you navigate to the edge you will fall off, but this isn't the case. You can circumnavigate the world in a circle.

Approximately round, a bit like a slightly squashed orange, yes, I'd bet my life on it!

Not exactly its actually an oblate spheroid i.e. it is flattened at the poles & bulged at the equator due to the centrifugal force generated from the rotation of the earth.

Absolutely. Satellite pictures confirm this. Global telephony, communications, GPS mechanism & working of internet all use this property . The list is very big.

the world is obviously round
