why the shape of earth is like orange?

Answer 1

The shape of earth is not like a orange exactly . It is round .

Answer 2

If a balloon filled with water is spun, the ends of the axis of rotation will flatten a bit and the middle will bulge a bit. If the velocity is high enough it will become a disc. At still higher velocities it can burst. This is one theory for the formation of a stars planetary system.

The earth has a liquid core with a solid skin. The centrifugal forces mentioned in AASTHA's post operate to create the effect of polar falttening and equatorial bulge.

Answer 3

since the eath spinns around its axis a a speed in excess o one thusand miles per hour , the cntifugal force tends to push the matter around he equator outside and away and this tends to increase the circumfrence and pull down the matter in the poles towadrs the center .this reduces the distance beteen the poles and he center of the sphere whre as the matter tht is getting pushed out at the equator tens the increase the distance between the circumfrence and the center of the sphere .naturally the shape of the sphere of the eath chages to that of an orange .

Answer 4

With my little knowledge and what I learnt was that earth is shaped like a 'eag'. Now you are revealing that it is like orange. It is nature's prerogative. Water and Earth, seed and Tree we can not say which one is first invented, or shaped. We don't know our shapes, how can we presume about earth. It is the greatness of Nature Almighty's bliss.

Answer 5

It is shaped a little more like a pear ,not quite that much. There is a volcano in Ecuador that is near the equator . If the height of the mountains are measured from the center Chimborazo is our tallest mountain due to the equatorial bulge.

Answer 6

Lol...wtf? It's orange like, like a ball. An orange looks like a ball, a small one. "Why does the shape of the Earth look like ball?" Would be better, I think.

Answer 7

The earth's equatorial region is bulged out somewhat because of centrifugal force due to the 1000 MPH speed of the earth's rotation at the equator.

Answer 8

The centripital force due to Sun and the centrifugal force due to earth itself act along the equator of the earth and hence it is flattened along the equitorial line. Due to thid its shape is elliptical and it also revolve in an elliptical path around the which has no co-ordination with its shape.

Answer 9

the earth spins very fast on itz axis n due 2 dis it bulges near the equator n flat at the poles n so it looks lik an orange

Answer 10

Because the Earth rotates on an axis, it is not a perfect sphere. Centripedal forces pull the oceans outward. IIt is fattest at the equator.
