Answer:
Explanation: Yes indeed: there is such a straight line you can draw on a globe. The paper that Chabukswar and Mukherjee wrote confirms the claim and shows that this is the longest such straight line you can mark out on our planet.

Answer:
No not because earth is round, but because space itself is "curved"
Have you heard the expression "close enough for government work?"
Well, we have tools such as straight edges and laser sights and transistors that allow a straight-as-can-be line to be drawn between a point A and any other point B that is visible from the point A, dispite the curvature of the earth
