Answer:
Figure of the Earth is a term of art in geodesy that refers to the size and shape used to model Earth. The size and shape it refers to depend on context, including the precision needed for the model. The sphere is an approximation of the figure of the Earth that is satisfactory for many purposes. Several models with greater accuracy have been developed so that coordinate systems can serve the precise needs of navigation, surveying, cadastre, land use, and various other concerns.

Answer:
the earth has got a spherical shape, slightly bulging at the equator and flattened at the poles. the spherical shape is confirmed by the arrival of a ship seen first by its mast and later on the ship. the satellite picture of the earth, shadow of the earth on the moon as circular, and views of circular horizons from the height etc. all these prove that the earth is in spherical shape.
