Answer:
The Earth is an irregularly shaped ellipsoid
Explanation:
is the shape of the earth?
The force of gravity would pull the Earth into a perfect sphere shape, but the fast rotation of Earth on its axis, an imaginary line running from the North Pole to the South Pole, reduces the effect of gravity on the equator. ... This gives the Earth its true, slightly squished shape, which is called the geoid.
Isaac Newton first proposed that Earth was not perfectly round. Instead, he suggested it was an oblate spheroid—a sphere that is squashed at its poles and swollen at the equator.
